President Trump signed the LEGION ACT on July 30, 2019. This changes the membership requirements for joining the American Legion.
In the past there were timeframes set in order to join such as WWII era, Vietnam, Korea Eras etc.
This new law only provides for 2 timeframes….April 6, 1917 to November 11, 1918 and December 7, 1941 to a date to be determined. This opens membership up for those honorably discharged veterans that did not qualify previously to join. Read here for more info.
