Join the American Legion
If you have served federal active duty in the United States Armed Forces since December 7, 1941, and have been honorably discharged or are still serving - you are eligible for membership in The American Legion!
Because eligibility dates remain open, all active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces are eligible to join The American Legion at this time, until the date of the end of hostilities as determined by the government of the United States.

Note: You will be asked to submit an annual dues payment (currently $42) to remain an active member of the American Legion. If you are already a Legion member and wish to change your membership to the Manny Bacon (NY-1758) Post, please indicate on the application form below.
