*** May 2012 ***
Congress designated May as National Military Appreciation Month in 1999 to
ensure the nation was given the opportunity to publically demonstrate
their appreciation for the sacrifices and successes made by our
servicemembers - past and present. Each year the president makes a
proclamation, reminding Americans of the important role the U.S. Armed
Forces have played in the history and development of our country
If you are on active duty today, serving honorably, anywhere in the
world, or have served honorably during any eligible war eras, you can
become a member of The American Legion!
We're veterans just like you, nearly 3 million strong, who care about
America, veterans and their families and our nation's youth. The Legion is a
powerful voice in Washington dedicated to preserving the rights we've all earned
- and were promised - by service to our nation in uniform.
We invite you to join us now. Membership brings an impressive array of
benefits. The American Legion is always there for you and your family - in
Washington and nearly 14,000 local Posts throughout America and abroad. Just
like you, we're "Still Serving America!"
