Office Closed to the Public

For the protection of our staff and their families and to help limit the spread of the COVID-19, The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary offices are closed to the public.

The Service Office in the Federal Building is open by appointment only. To make an appointment with a claims representative, please call 515-323-7532. Due to the high volume of inquiries, claims, and case load, we ask that everyone please be patient as the Service Office will respond as soon as possible if you are unable to reach them immediately.

Happy American Legion Day!

Today is American Legion Day. 101 years ago today the charter of The American Legion was approved by Congress (September 16, 1919). Take a moment to remember our Founders today. 101 years later we are still serving America.
