The American Legion does not allow any member of the military to join as a Legionnaire unless they served during a specific conflict.
We have disabled veterans who cannot join due to not serving in a conflict, however, their spouses who have family who have served are allowed membership into the Legion.
Specifically, a spouse with no military affiliation can join the Legion, and subsequently join the American Legion Riders, but the husband as a disabled veteran can only be a social member due to not having any family member been in the service and he is not eligible to join as a Legion Rider.
We, the undersigned, petition the American Legion and the Congress of the United States to allow membership to all disabled Veterans of any branch of the U.S. Military into the American Legion.
