The Legion Act

On July 30, 2019 the President signed into law The Legion Act.

The Legion Act has simplified the eligibility requirements

for membership into The American Legion.

NEW ELIGIBILITY

Requirements are now any and all veterans who served

at least one(1) day active military duty since December 7, 1941

and were honorably discharged or are still serving honorably.

The American Legion was founded on four pillars:

Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation

National Security

Americanism

and

Children and Youth.

These pillars guide The American Legion's mission today.
