You'll find that getting connected to the American Legion Family is one of the best decisions you will ever make. Our service-oriented Post respects the sacrifices of both the warrior and his or her support network at home. We have all "been there and done that."
​
We understand the pressures of life after your separation from the military. Work, school and raising children may not leave time for other pursuits.
​
That's why our American Legion Post is different, We are here for you, not the other way around.

If you are currently on active duty, serving the United States honorably, anywhere in the world, or have served honorably during any of the following eligible war eras, we invite you to become a member of The American Legion.
​​
​Recent Congressional legislation has expanded the war time eligibility period for membership in The American Legion.
​
The LEGION Act declares that the United States has been in a state of war since Dec. 7, 1941 so anyone who has served federal active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces since then is eligible for membership, so long as they're still serving honorably or were honorably discharged.
