This is how it all started…

Post 76 formed in 1928 Arlington Washington State. This historic building was built in 1910. American Legion was originally chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic Veterans organization. Focusing on service to Veterans, servicemembers and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary Veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States.
