Membership Eligibility

With President Trump’s signature on the LEGION Act, the extension of the ongoing declared period of war was extended back to Dec. 7, 1941. The congressionally approved act is a way to honor thousands of veterans who were killed or wounded on duty during periods not previously considered a time of war.

"Persons who have served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces since December 7, 1941 and have been honorably discharged or are still serving, are eligible for membership in the American Legion. All active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces are eligible to join the American Legion at this time. Persons who have served on active duty with the U.S, Merchant Marine between 7 Dec 1941 and 31 Dec 1946 (WWII) and have been honorably discharged are eligible for membership."
