MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION AND ELIGIBILITY

If you are currently on active duty or have served during any of the eligible war eras as shown below and were honorably discharged, you're eligible to become a Legionnaire! Place of service is not material-- the dates and character of service are.

We invite you to join our Post now. Membership in The American Legion includes many benefits. For a complete list of benefits, see the National Headquarters web site. Membership in "The American Legion" is open to all US veterans who served at least one day of honorable active federal service during any of the following periods:

	World War I	4/6/17 - 11/11/18
	World War II	12/7/41 - 12/31/46
	Korea	6/25/50 - 1/31/55
	Vietnam	2/28/61 - 5/7/75
	Grenada, Lebanon	8/24/82 - 7/31/84
	Panama	12/20/89 - 1/31/90
	Persian Gulf	8/2/90 - Cessation of hostilities as determined by the US Government

To join, stop by the Post, complete a short application form, pay the first year dues (Dewey Lowman Post 109 dues are $20.00 per year) and submit proof of eligibility. Proof of eligibility is a copy of your DD-214 (prior to Vietnam, other forms were used such as DD-256, DD-257, and DD-217). Whichever form is submitted, it must show dates of active duty. Note that the Discharge Certificate may not be sufficient since in many cases it does not show the actual dates of active duty. For World War II Merchant Marine, you must have a copy of your DD-214 from the Army, Navy or Coast Guard granting you veteran's status. If you have any questions concerning your eligibility for membership, please call the Post or stop by. We will also be glad to answer your questions via e-mail.

The other way to join is to fill out our online application.
