The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness.
American Legion is a private organization. Visitors are welcomed as guests during our dining and special events.
Service Before Self.
We welcome all friends of The American Legion to join us. Help support our troops, veterans, and Americanism programs.
This past year, Michael Gropper started a business, Full Battle Rattle Deli, a food truck that, in his own words, is a “vehicle for change” and the nonprofit Culinary Arts Boot Camp. The goal is to teach and certify veterans for food industry skills through on the job training in the food truck and get jobs in the industry.
Mike has poured his heart, soul, and life savings into the truck. He is still going out there every day to feed the hungry at churches, shelters, hospitals. He needs the funds both to keep the truck operating and pay for his own living expenses.
As noted above, this is no ordinary food truck, but a food truck with a mission. To lose this social enterprise, as a result of COVID-19 would be a big loss to the veteran community and the needy of Denver as a whole. In the short time that we have been in operation, we have touched many lives, started to build a strong client base. We were on the path to making the Food Truck a viable business, and the culinary arts program had just begun. All this has changed dramatically due to the present situation.
