Who We Are
Post #809
Founded in 1919 in the United States, the American Legion is built on the enduring promise of mutual helpfulness, patriotism, and service to veterans, their families and our communities.
Our Post #809 in the Dominican Republic is fully aligned with that mission, but brings a local, international and innovative focus. Whether you served on foreign soil or are now living abroad, this is your home-away-from-home.
