Gift Membership

Our thoughts are with those who bravely serve our country, both at home and abroad...and veterans of wars gone by. While remembering these brave men and women, let's not forget the loved ones left worrying for the safe return of a husband or wife, father or mother, son or daughter. We can remember them with a gift of belonging...a gift of membership in one of the American Legion Family service organizations.

The American Legion, Sons of The American Legion, and the American Legion Auxiliary stand united in patriotism and veteran's advocacy. A gift membership will brighten the day of anyone - - from the active-duty service member to the patriotic grandchild. An affordable gift membership is the perfect opportunity to bring families together...whether by a sense of supporting a common goal or by actually taking part in the many exciting and rewarding activities or programs of the Legion Family. Membership dues help support programs such as Boys/Girls Nation, National High School Oratorical Contests, American Legion Baseball, VA Volunteer Service, the Family Support Network and various troop-support efforts.

Is there someone you know - - a friend or family member - - who is eligible but missing out on the opportunities that membership can bring? If so, sign him or her up by purchasing a 1-year membership in one of the American Legion Family service organizations.
