SINCE 1919, THE AMERICAN LEGION STANDS FOR: DEFENSE, VETERANS, YOUTH, AND PATRIOTISM.

If you have served federal active duty in the United States Armed Forces since December 7, 1941,

and have been honorably discharged or are still serving – you are eligible for membership in The American Legion.

Current and past members of the National Guard and Reserve may also be eligible for membership provided that they had periods of at least four months of duration for training in one or another of the aforementioned eligibility eras. Annual summer camps and weekend drills do not constitute eligible periods of service. Active duty is the key to Legion membership. A person need not have served overseas to be eligible but must possess an Honorable Discharge with a form DD-214.
