First Convention Of The American Legion
On November 10, 1919, the American Legion held its first convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
U.S. #1369 was issued for the 50th anniversary of the American Legion.
Following the Civil War in the mid-1800s, former soldiers began creating their own organizations. Union soldiers created the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) while Southern soldiers created the United Confederate Veterans (UCV). After the Spanish-American War, another military-based group was formed, the American Veterans of Foreign Service (which we know today as the Veterans of Foreign Wars or VFW).
