Join Us
On the battlefield, the military pledges to leave no soldier behind. As a nation, let it be our pledge that when they return home, we leave no veteran behind.

We want you to join #TeamVeterans. In just 3 easy steps, you can be a part of a veteran community that supports and encourages its’ members.
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.
**U.S. Merchant Marine eligible only from December 7, 1941 to December 31, 1946 (WWII).
We’d like to have the Post membership meet you, so please attend our next meeting to see if you would like to join our Post. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM. Bring your completed application and DD 214 or Active Duty ID Card.*
If you decide you would like to join or transfer into our Post, we will ask you to introduce yourself to the Post and tell us about your military service. After verifying eligibility and successfully being voted in by Post 2001 members present, you will officially become a Post member.
Annual dues are $45 and payment can be made in cash or check at the meeting. The Adjutant will provide you with your temporary membership card so you can begin enjoying some of the benefits of being a Legionnaire.
*IMPORTANT: EVERYONE must submit a copy of their DD 214 or Active Duty ID Card to the Adjutant for review. Any questions can be addressed to our Post Adjutant at alpost2001@gmail.com.
Please print and fill out the application form below and come join us at our next meeting!
If you can’t attend the next meeting, you can mail your completed application, a copy of your DD 214 (which will be returned to you after our Adjutant verifies your service dates), and a check or money order for $45, your first year dues. Your temporary membership card will be mailed to you ASAP so you can begin enjoying some of the benefits of being a Legionnaire.
