Fellow Legionnaire,
Thank you for your continued support of veterans, their families and our youth. It is only through a strong membership that ourcollective voices related to veteran issues are heard at the state and national levels.
Have you renewed your commitment through membership for 2022? If so, thanks again for your continued support. If not, why are you waiting? It has been said many times that “Membership is the lifeblood of The American Legion!” This statement is as true today as it was more than 100 years ago when our forefathers met in Paris and the largest and greatest veterans service organization was born.
Here are a few advantages to renewing your membership now:
• No more renewal notices will be sent reminding you to renew. The money saved by not sending renewal notices can be used to help a veteran in need and continue to support our great programs.
• Your membership is NOT cut short by renewing now. Renewing now will ensure your membership is current through the end of December 2022.
• Your magazine subscription will not lapse.
• You are ensured continued eligibility for the National Emergency Fund, a benefit we pray you will never need, but knowing it is there should you need it can be a huge comfort.
There are several other advantages to renewing now, but I think you get the message. Now here are the disadvantages to renewing now:
• NONE!
It is VERY easy to renew. You can send your renewal to yourpost with a check, money order, or cash, or you can go online at legion.org and click on the “Renew” button at the top right side of the page and follow the directions. If you can’t find therenewal notice recently mailed, or you can’t find yourmembership number, no problem. Just contact your post or department leadership and they can look it up. Or you can mail your renewal without the notice included. All you need to do is send the dues with your full name and membership ID number.
It is simple, easy and EXTREMELY important we get your renewal as soon as possible. Now the rest is up to you. Please help us continue our work so we can ensure there is “No Veteran Left Behind!” Renew now and let’s keep our voices strong and heard in every capital building in this great country in which we live!
For God and Country,
Jay Bowen
