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 Corona High School's JROTC program. We are actively involved in numerous community events, reflecting a commitment to local well-being.

Our post thrives on active membership, participation, and volunteerism, dedicated to serving veterans, their families, and the broader Corona community.
