We associate ourselves together for the following purposes:

to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the great wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

The American Legion is the nation's largest veterans' organization and is proud to represent over three million men and women who have served in this country's armed forces during time of conflict. The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. Today, there are nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide, organized into 55 Departments, one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.

Mid-Pacific Post-1 is the oldest american Legion post in the Pacific Rim and is presently chartered under the Department of Alaska. Click here for a history of our post. The Post home and canteen is centrally located in Tamuning, Guam and is open to all American Legion members, veterans, active duty military and the public. Canteen hours are from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Membership meetings are held on the first Saturday of each month at the post home.

Prices are the best on Guam and the post home is located within 5 minutes of free military and merchant seaman shuttle bus stops at the Guam Premier Outlets (see map below). An excellent first stop to get your bearings.
