American Legion Home and Club.

The American Legion was established by an act of Congress to take care of American war veterans and their families. Valdosta established Post 13 in 1919 with 15 charter members. This Post was the thirteenth to be established in Georgia. The current red brick building with its classical pediment front porch and dormers was constructed in 1931 and continues to serve as a Legion Home today.

Since 1919, The American Legion has operated with a clear and enduring purpose: to serve those who have served, strengthen the nation, and uphold the values that define American democracy. That purpose is built on four foundational pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. These pillars guide the organization’s advocacy, outreach, and service across thousands of local posts and millions of members nationwide.
