The American Legion is an organization of veterans just like you, nearly 3 million strong, who care about America, veterans and their families and our youth. The Legion is a powerful force in Washington dedicated to preserving the rights we've all earned - and were promised - by service to our nation in uniform. 

   The American Legion is America's largest veteran's organization. We're fighting for higher active duty pay, future cost of living adjustments for retirees, better military housing, assistance for veterans in finding jobs, and a superior health care system proposed by the Legion called the GI Bill of Health which you, and your family, can continue to use after separation or retirement. The American Legion is comprised of veterans who are "Still Serving America".

        The American Legion is always there for you and your family - in Washington and nearly 15,000 local posts throughout America and abroad. Ogden American Legion Post #9 is one of those local Posts consisting of  your friends and neighbors who are proud to be called Legionnaires. While the vast majority of our members are from Weber County, we have members from all over the state and country.
