Joining the American Legion!
If you are on active duty today, anywhere in the world, or have served during any eligible
war eras, you are a veteran and you're eligible to become a Legionnaire!
You've probably heard of The American Legion. We're veterans just like you, nearly 3 million
strong, who care about America, veterans and their families and our nation's youth. The Legion
is a powerful voice in Washington dedicated to preserving the rights we've all earned — and were
promised by service to our nation in uniform.
The American Legion is America's largest veterans organization. We're fighting for higher active
duty pay, future retired COLAs, better military housing, assistance for veterans in finding jobs,
and a superior health care system proposed by the Legion called the GI Bill of Health which you
and your family can continue to use after separation or retirement.
We work to not only to protect and improve benefits for veterans, but more importantly, we are
working to make our communities better through some of our many programs including Children and
Youth and Americanism.
The American Legion also offers many benefits besides the satisfaction of serving your community.
You can check these benefits offered only to American Legion members.
We invite you to join us now. Membership brings an impressive array of benefits. The American
Legion is always there for you and your family. Just like you, we're "Still Serving America!" Come join us at our next meeting on Tue., 14 Sep, 1900 hrs.
