“Duty, Honor, Country.

Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.”

-General Douglas MacArthur

OUR MISSION

The American Legion strives to promote a better understanding of the principles of democracy and to inculcate among all people a higher appreciation of the benefits of American citizenship. To serve the needs of all veterans and their families. To fulfill our commitment to community, state, and nation.

OUR VISION

The American Legion is the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization founded on the values, contributions, and sacrifices, of those who answered the nation's call to arms, therefore we must:

	Respond to quality of life needs of all veterans and their families.
	Prepare each generation to meet its citizenship obligations.
	Maintain a strong national defense.
	Perpetuate the principles of government embodied in the United States Constitution.
	Be a values-based organization committed to serving God, country, community and every veteran today, tomorrow and throughout the 21st Century.

PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION

For God and Country

We associate ourselves together for the following purposes:

To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America;
to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism;
to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the Great Wars;
to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation;
to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses;
to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy;
to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

PARTNERSHIP

The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of The American Legion are partners in providing service to our veterans, their families and our communities.
The Stillwater Legion partnership team works within our community in support of the Boy Scouts, Village and Town, Community Center and numerous youth organizations and programs.
Our work of service to our veterans and Stillwater community has been and will continue to be a “family effort”.
