Membership in The American Legion

If you have served during World War I, World War II, the Korean or Vietnam Wars, or conflicts in Grenada, Lebanon, Panama or the Persian Gulf War — then you are eligible to join nearly 3 million fellow United States veterans as a member of The American Legion.

Membership in the American Legion includes a wide array of benefits. The American Legion is always there for you and your family — at home, abroad and representing your interests in Washington, we're "Still Serving America!"
