The American Legion’s Early Growth and Public Work
The American Legion established a nationwide service station at its national headquarters and coordinated war risk compensation for dependents of deceased or disabled soldiers. National headquarters handled complex cases, settling about $1,000,000 in claims from 1910 to 1920. The Legion formed in Paris on February 16, 1919, and grew to over 1,500,000 members across 9,000 posts with 800 women’s auxiliaries. A key 1919 bill on deportation of certain aliens reflected Legion influence, derived from its St Louis meeting.
