We're veterans just like you, nearly 3 million strong, who care about America, veterans and their families and our nation's youth. The Legion is a powerful voice in Washington dedicated to preserving the rights we've all earned - and were promised - by service to our nation in uniform.
We invite you to join us now. Membership brings an impressive array of benefits. The American Legion is always there for you and your family - in Washington and nearly 15,000 local posts throughout America and abroad. Just like you, we're "Still Serving America!"
What Your Membership Does
The support your membership gives to our brave young men and women on active duty is paramount. As more veterans return home from the War On Terror, some will need our immediate help while others will need help down the road. Membership entitles you, active-duty personnel and families to:
-
Professional help in obtaining full medical, educational, and insurance benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs
-
Assistance in preparing VA claims and getting accurate information concerning financial services.
-
Professional representation of veterans’ interests in Congress by our staffing Washington, D.C., who are fighting for legislation that protects the benefits of all veterans and their families.
The American Legion is the nation’s most influential, effective and dependable advocate of veteran affairs. Your membership in the Legion will strengthen our fight for better active-duty pay, improved housing for active-duty families, and help insure that the VA’s medical system can properly care for the sick and wounded returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
