AMERICAN
LEGION MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Powerpoint
Presentation
Member Benefits Partnership is Power
See for yourself just what membership with The American
Legion can offer you and your family.
The National
Organization

For God and
Country
The American Legion Today there
is no accurate record of the total number of veterans'
organizations, but among them all, none has grown so large or
has exercised such wide influence as The American
Legion. None is so intimately identified with the word
"veteran".
Congress chartered the American
Legion in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help,
war-time veterans organization. A community-service
organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members
-- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts
worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments
-- one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
The
American Legion's National Headquarters is in Indianapolis,
Indiana, with additional offices in Washington, DC. In
addition to thousands of volunteers serving in
leadership and program implementation capacities in local
communities to the Legion's standing national commissions
and committees, the national organization has a regular
full-time staff of about 300 employees. The
membership of the American Legion is comprised of men and
women who have served their country on honorable federal
active duty service with the U.S. Armed Forces during a
hostile conflict.
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.
WHY
JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION?
Do You
Remember?
Do you remember
when your unit was under fire? You were scared. You didn't
know whether you would ever get home again, see your family,
your loved ones. And the only thing that you could count on in
that instant was your buddy. And you knew he was counting on
you too.
Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones who never saw
combat. Do you remember the tediousness of garrison life? Do
you remember the interminable hurry up and wait? Do you
remember the inane make-work projects you were ordered to do?
But your buddy was always there along side you, making the
wise-crack, helping you make it though each day, maybe even
covering for you on occasion.
Your buddy
still needs you!!!
Maybe
your buddy is in one of the VA hospitals; his war wounds
and/or time have taken its toll on his body. Maybe he or
she is a young veteran, just discharged from service in the
Gulf War or Bosnia and is having difficulty finding a civilian
job. Maybe your buddy is just an ordinary guy or gal like
yourself, wanting to share stories and comradeship with
someone who was in a similar
situation.
Your buddy
still needs you!!!
The American Legion is the place for you to help your
buddy and for your buddy to help you. Founded in 1919, it is
the largest veteran's organization in the United States with
over 3 million members.
Your
buddy still needs you!!!
We are
veterans just like you. We care about America,our fellow
veterans. our families and our children. As a member of our
Post we continue to serve our God, our Country and our
Community. Our Post needs you now.
Our
Legionnaires participate in many community activities such as
parades, memorials, dedication, etc.
We
have a funeral honor guard detail ready, willing and able at
the family's request. Our funeral detail is available to all
veterans. When requested, we are also available to help other
veteran organizations with their memorials.
We
sponsor local students to participate in Boy State, sponsor
scholarships to better educate our children. Our
Post needs you now. AMERICA NEEDS YOU - JOIN
NOW
