Rubber stamps or address labels can be used as long as they are readable and match the name on your membership card.

All tentative winners must present a current-year 2026 American Legion Family Membership card; or a Paid-Up-For-Life (PUFL) card. If you have a digital card on your phone, the digital copy must have your signature because, as all cards reflects at the bottom, "not valid unless countersigned by member)".  The one exception is those who are renewing late (after 1 Feb) in which case you must wait until after a hard-copy card is issued to you by Membership.

Membershipship Card Information

2027 Legion membership cards will be available starting 1 July 2026

                           On 1 January 2026, if you do not have a 2026 Legion card from any American Legion Post, you will most likely be denied entry except for the purposes of renewing. Renewing at the Post will be dependant on whether the employees or Post Officers have the time to renew your membership. The best time to renew at the post is from 9 am to approx. 2 pm. You can also renew online thru National. If you are able to renew online, don't forget to print out your card as it takes National 24-72 hours to notify me to release those online renewals.

Renewing after 1 Feb - you must be approved by the general membership for your 2026 membership card.
 

This year’s 2026 membership card, "Celebrating 250 Years of America", is about our nation commenorating and celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 2026. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation's past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond. We will stand in tribute to generations of American soldiers who have defended freedom, upheld our Constitution, and carried the torch of liberty around the world

Don't forget that the message, Be the One, reminds us that the Number 1 issue facing the veteran community is suicide. It is estimated that between 17 and 22 veterans or servicemembers take their lives each day. That’s more than 6,000 annually. The rate of suicide for veterans is more than 50% higher than that of non-veteran adults.    

At its core, The American Legion is activating a national platform to reduce the rate of veteran suicide. The Be the One campaign will destigmatize asking for mental health support, creating opportunity for those with mental health issues to speak freely and get the support they need. How can you help? While this program is designed to help all veterans, we know that everyone responds differently to stresses, have different life experiences, and have varying results in types of treatment. However, the following are guidelines intended to provide help before a crisis situation develops. The American Legion encourages you to Be the One to talk with others about how you are feeling, ask for help when you know you need it, know there are millions of people ready to help you and remember your family and friends’ care.

 

 

 
 
Volunteering is a voluntary act of an individual or group freely giving time and labor, often for community service or their American Legion Family.

DID YOU KNOW? If you buy the winning Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot ticket at Post 62, as an incentive, the Post gets a certain percentage as a reward for selling that ticket. For example, the latest Powerball of over $1.75 billion that someone won in CA? The store that sold that ticket got $1 million - something to think about!
