Oneida, NY's local American Legion Post 169 is known for its long-standing involvement with the community including Boys State, Girls State, Boy Scouts, Oneida City Schools, Memorial Day Ceremonies, Flag Advocacy & Etiquette and many more programs.
The American Legion is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization with great political influence perpetuated by its grass-roots involvement in the legislation process from local districts to Capitol Hill. Legionnaires’ sense of obligation to community, state and nation drives an honest advocacy for veterans in Washington. The Legion stands behind the issues most important to the nation's veterans community, backed by resolutions passed by volunteer leadership.
The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives.
