The backbone of any organization is its members, and the ALA is no different. We could not do what we do without our membership. But we do have rules regarding the eligibility of someone who wishes to join us. Membership in The American Legion Auxiliary is limited to the:
- grandmothers, mothers, sisters, spouses, and direct and adopted female descendants of members of The American Legion; and
- grandmothers, mothers, sisters, spouses, and direct and adopted female descendants of all men and women who served in either of the following periods: April 6, 1917, to November 11, 1918 and any time after December 7, 1941 who, being a citizen of the United States at the time of their entry therein served on active duty in the Armed Forces of any of the governments associated with the United States during either eligibility periods and died in the line of duty or after honorable discharge;
- to those women who of their own right are eligible for membership in The American Legion. *
* A woman who is eligible for American Legion membership is eligible to join the American Legion Auxiliary regardless of whether or not she is a member of The American Legion. However, eligibility of her female relatives (sister, mother, direct descendants) and/or spouse depends upon her membership in The American Legion.

All posts will be made “in the spirit of good will” and include the sharing of ideas and success stories that will inspire others. Photos and videos are encouraged.
