I think the answer you're looking for is The Royal Canadian Legion. The RCL was founded in 1925, about seven years after the end of WWI (also known as "The Great War") and has ever since been devoted to the cause of Canadian Veterans' rights and well being.
According to the Royal Canadian Legion's website, "The principal objectives of the Legion were to provide a strong voice for World War I veterans and advise the government on veterans' issues. These goals were maintained in the years leading up to 1939."
Here's the Wikipedia link:

And better yet, the link to the RCL's web site:

Hope this helps!!

I assume you already figured out its not the VFW?
Have you looked at the American Legion?

VFW - Veterans of Foriegn Wars started a little earlier than the American Legion, which started in 1919.
If its neither of these groups, hopefully someone who knows more about veterans can be of help.
