Welcome to Legion Post 259

Excelsior, MN

We strive to enhance the well-being of America's veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness. The American Legion's vision statement is "The American Legion: Veterans Strengthening America."

The Legion raises millions of dollars in donations at local, state, and national levels to help veterans and their families.

We are a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization. The Legion stands behind the issues most important to the veteran's community.

Our success depends entirely on active membership, participation, and volunteerism. We belong to the people we serve and the communities in which we thrive.
