About the Red Wing American Legion
Since our charter on August 27, 1920; our American Legion Post has been welcoming Veterans and those serving from all branches of our Armed Forces. We also welcome the families of those who served. Joining our Post enables you to continue serving your God, Country and Community. Our four pillars are: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth.
We want to thank our Red Wing community for its continued support. 100% of the money we raise is given back to the community. Help us continue scholarships and support of our children; give aid and assistance to our local Veterans in need and their families; support worthy community programs and projects by visiting our Post and participating in our events.
