Thanks to the LEGION Act (Let Everyone Get Involved In Opportunities for National Service Act), Congress expanded the current eligibility period to cover Dec. 7, 1941, to the present, and includes the current war campaigns. Previously, there were seven declared war periods. Now there are two, the current war period dating back to World War II and another war era covering World War I. No other restrictions to American Legion membership changed.!
*Because eligibility dates remain open, all members of the U.S. Armed Forces are eligible to join The American Legion at this time, until the date of the end of hostilities as determined by the government of the United States.
Include a copy of your DD214 and a check in the amount of $45.00 made out to The American Legion, Manoa Post 667, to cover your first year dues. If you do not have a copy of your DD214, you can request Your Military Service Records Online, by Mail, or by Fax.
