About Us
Founded in 1919, the American Legion stands as the U.S.'s largest patriotic veterans organization. Established in 1923, Post #216 champions community support through sponsoring local youth sports, volunteering, and bolstering high school JROTC programs in Corona. We are actively involved in numerous community events, reflecting a commitment to local well-being. As a significant, nonpartisan advocate for veterans, Post #216's influence reaches from the grassroots to national levels. Our post thrives on active membership, participation, and volunteerism, dedicated to serving veterans, their families, and the broader Corona community.
