Greetings,
Since 1989, The Woodlands Post 305 of The American Legion has been serving veterans in the area. We have members who are currently serving or working in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world, as well as members who have retired from the military. We invite you to learn more about The Ameriacn Legion and The Woodlands Post 305.
What is the American Legion?
The American Legion is the largest veteran's organization in the world, with nearly 3 million members. It was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. A community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments -- one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
The American Legion National Headquarters is in Indianapolis, Indiana, with additional offices in Washington, DC. In addition to thousands of volunteers serving in leadership and program implementation capacities in local communities to the Legion's standing national commissions and committees, the national organization has a regular full-time staff of about 300 employees
The Legion is a powerful voice in Washington dedicated to preserving the rights we've all earned — and were promised — by service to our nation in uniform. It continues to fight for higher active duty pay, future retired COLAs, 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 America's largest veterans organization. As such, The Woodlands Post 305, a 600 member post, belongs to District 7, Division 2, Department of Texas.
We invite you to explore our web site. We hope the information we offer here will help you in some way. We encourage you to become a member and join the nearly 3 million other veterans who care about America, other veterans and their families and our nation's youth.
Our regularly scheduled meeting is the third Thursday of each month. We meet at the South County Community Center. Please see the Contact Us page for directions.
