Since 1934, the Legion’s Washington offices have been located on K Street, three blocks from the White House. The original brownstone building was replaced by an office building dedicated on Aug. 14, 1951, by President Harry Truman. Four decades later, the building received a major renovation and was rededicated on Feb. 25, 1990, by then-VA Secretary Edward Derwinski.
The Washington building also has an office for the national commander, to support his frequent visits to the halls of Congress to discuss political issues that affect veterans, servicemembers and their families. The building also includes offices for the executive director, as well as Legislative, Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, Veterans Employment and Education and National Security.
