Eligibility Dates
 
Eligibility in the American Legion is based on honorable service with the U. S. Armed Forces. With the passing of the American Legion Act all veterans with an honorable discharge serving since December 7, 1941 may now join the American Legion.
 
Because eligibility dates remain open, all 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.
 
Must have served at least one day of active military duty and honorably discharged or still serving honorably.
