Active duty and active in American Legion?

Anyone who has served since 1990 can join the american legion. Just go to legion.org to fins the closest legion to you! I am active duty and the Commander of Post 207 in Ogden, Kansas, Just outside the gates of Fort Riley.

I am very active in The American Legion and have done so while still on active duty. I have found my service with The American Legion to be very rewarding and would recommend active participation while on active duty. I was a District Commander during WOCS, the National American Legion College, and my appointment to WO1. Since then I have served as a member of the National Media & Communications Council, a Department Committee Chairman, District & Post Adjutant, & a Delegate to the last five National Conventions. I have found the ability to use a portion of my 30 days of annual leave to serve The American Legion as a great benefit and look forward to continuing my service in this amazing organization.

Anyone interested in joining the American Legion can contact me. Depending on where you are we may be able to sponsor your first years while on AD, RA or NG duty.

Community service is always a good thing to have on an evaluation and most of the time it feels good. We have many members still serving and assist as best they can. The other BIG point is everyone still in the service knows all of the regs, once you are out, the American Legion is one of the best places to find out about what you are eligible for. So while you are in, you will be able to acquire that knowledge for when you get out.
