Who we are

The American Legion was founded with a spirit of fellowship, enthusiasm and mutual respect among concerned friends. It is built on understanding, appreciation, and vocal pride of America and its people. 

Together we can make a difference—together we are “STILL SERVING AMERICA.” 

The Eleventh District's mission is to connect and coordinate local posts with their counties, the department of Wisconsin, and the National Legion.

Our goal is to enable and equip posts to be real assets to their communities, to serve veterans, and to celebrate America and its history.

We are...

We are committed to helping other veterans. We assist veterans with navigating the VA claims and compensation process and accessing VA healthcare. We work to ensure that every veteran is buried with honor, that no veteran is homeless, and that all veterans are employed and educated. 

We strive to build posts that add value to their cities, towns, and villages by connecting the American veteran to the American citizen. We assist our communities in celebrating holidays - both national and local, and in registering voters. 

We also develop young people in to responsible, patriotic citizens through American Legion Baseball, American Legion Boys Nation, and American Legion Oratorical competitions.

We are determined in our service to the people of the United States, in guaranteeing the safety and security of our nation, and in protecting our freedoms and the American way of life.   

We provide education on the Constitution, the Pledge of Allegiance, and proper flag handling/display. We support a large military and work to maintain a decent quality of life for servicemembers and their families from all components. We remain devoted to the fallen who haven't come home and fight for a full accounting and repatriation of POW/MIA U.S. service personnel from all wars and conflicts.
