About
Not everyone is eligible to become a member of the Sons of The American Legion. There are specific membership requirements: you must be a male descendant (includes stepsons and adopted sons) of a member of The American Legion – or a deceased veteran who would have been eligible to join The American Legion before he died. The specific dates of eligibility for veterans to join The American Legion are: Active Duty Service Eligibility Dates for Membership in The American Legion (note: potential S.A.L. members should use these dates to determine if their parents, grandparents or great grandparents are/were eligible for membership in The American Legion): If they have served federal active duty in the United States Armed Forces since December 7, 1941, and have been honorably discharged or are still serving - they 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. Contact the Post to get more information on how to join.
