Why Join The American Legion?

Membership in the American Legion offers many benefits that include involvement in community programs, a voice in Washington, investment in children and youth activities and education, and camaraderie. Of course, our primary focus is on veteran’s rights and the concerns for their families. That is why we continue to lobby in Washington for the soldiers of yesterday and the soldiers of tomorrow. The American Legion is a strong and effective voice since we are the largest veteran’s organization.

The American Legion also offers Member Discount and Benefits through our National Organization: Insurance and Health Services, Financial Services, Travel Discounts, Moving and Home Discounts including Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Dell Computers, Days Inn, Budget Rent a Car, and many more.

The involvement in the Pennsylvania American Legion can mean many things to many Legionnaires. The Programs, Committees, and Events that we are involved in is as diverse as: politics and Legislative concerns, Children and Youth programs, Americanism, Legion Baseball, and being involved in the solution for Homeless Veterans.
