Americanism is a philosophy that flows through the organization. It can be found in the Legions support for a constitutional amendment to protect the U.S. flag from desecration. It can be found through participation in patriotic holidays and observances. Americanism comes in the form of naturalization and citizenship programs at hundreds of posts. The American Legion stands as the nations utmost authority on patriotic observances and traditions, including flag etiquette and proper behavior during the playing of the National Anthem or recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
