Preamble To the American Legion Constitution 

For God and Country,
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 per cent 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.
