Legion Department of Nebraska
Welcome to the Nebraska American Legion Website. We have over 33,000 Legionnaires throughout the great State of Nebraska. Within our website you will find information on our Department Leadership, Programs, and meetings at both the Department and National level.
American Legion Auxiliary
Our theme this year is “TOGETHER WE CAN.” This is a call to work in harmony with not only the members in our own Units, but with all parts of The American Legion Family. To quote Anne Frank: “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Website
American Legion Riders
The Nebraska American Legion Riders are members of either The American Legion, The American Legion Auxiliary or The Sons of The American Legion. Our purpose is to use our common interest and association to promote the aims and purposes of The American Legion as well as motorcycle safety awareness. State Website
American Legion National
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.
Post 3 Legion Riders
We are NOT a motorcycle club!
We are a part of the nation’s largest wartime veteran’s service organization, members of the American Legion “Family” (Legionnaires, Sons and Auxiliary members) who have joined together to ride our motorcycles for fun and fellowship and to remember and dedicate our self to our original purpose. Service to Our Country.

Petition State Funeral
Our Mission:
“To convince the President of the United States to designate a state funeral for the last Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, as a final salute to the 16 million men and women of the greatest generation who served in our armed forces from 1941 to 1945.”
Legion History
The American Legion was 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. Membership swiftly grew to over 1 million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at over 2.4 million in 14,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines.
