The American Legion Media & Communications contest is open to all current members of the American Legion Family (Legionnaires, Sons of The American Legion, Auxiliary and Legion Riders). The contest recognizes the communication efforts American Legion Family members do at the post, district and department levels to promote the good of the organization. Since its founding in 1919, The American Legion has been a key advocate for veterans’ benefits, children and youth, patriotic American values, a strong national defense and quality-of-life issues for those serving in today’s armed forces.
