AMERICAN LEGION CHARITIES 
BE THE ONE
The American Legion’s top priority is to reduce veteran suicides by encouraging veterans, caregivers and others to "Be the One" to save the life of one veteran. Instead of focusing on the staggering number of veteran lives lost each day, it is time to focus on saving one at a time. That starts with destigmatizing mental health issues and making it OK for veterans to ask for help.
The American Legion invites you to join us to make tangible, lifesaving change for those who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. Would you join us today to Be the One?
