Membership is open to female veterans and to the mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters, granddaughters or great-granddaughters of American Legion members
or deceased veterans who served in the Armed Forces during World Wars I and
II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, and/or Lebanon
conflicts, and the Persian Gulf War. Descendants of veterans
(great-granddaughters, etc.) often are presented with Junior memberships at
birth or during childhood through the generosity of an older relative and
Auxiliary member. Many of these young women continue their membership as
Senior members after they reach age 18.
