Veterans continue their service by serving their communities. This involvement in the community creates and supports the feeling of camaraderie which makes The American Legion the nation's largest and the most respected organization of wartime veterans.
Here are a few of the ways our members are "Still Serving America" just last year alone:
Over $6 million in cash and goods given to needy children and their families.
Awarded over $3.8 million in scholarships to deserving high school students.
Donated over $10 million to local charity campaigns.
Provided over $2 million in emergency aid to veterans.
Donated over 2 million man-hours of service to our communities.
Legion family support network has helped thousands of family members of military personal with everything from simple household repairs to financial assistance.
Sponsor of community and youth oriented programs like Boys State, Girls State, American Legion Baseball, High School Oratorical Competitions, Scouting, and Flag education.
Plus more! Much much more.
There are also practical benefits of being a member of The American Legion. Your membership in the Legion gives you added savings, discounts and family-protection benefits including:
Job placement assistance.
A full year’s subscription to our monthly magazine, The American Legion Magazine.
Discount rates at thousands of hotels and motels, on car rental, and with moving expenses.
Full eligibility to participate in Legion Members-only insurance plans.
Additional discounts through the American Legion's new prescription drug plan.
More important than material benefits, your membership in The American Legion is a tangible way to honor the other men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. It’s the best way to help preserve programs that benefit you, our nation and our fellow veterans.
The true value of joining The American Legion can't be measured in dollars and cents. It is a unique way of being a part of something bigger than any individual. It's not just something that we do, it's who we are. . . and we invite you to join us in our alliance of kindred spirits.
