Interested in joining the American Legion Auxiliary?
Auxiliary Eligibility
If you have a relative who served on active duty during one of the membership eligibility dates and is a member of the American Legion, you may join the American Legion Auxiliary. However, if the qualifying veteran is deceased you may join even if the qualifying veteran was not a member of the American Legion when living. Girls under 18 years old with the same eligibility can join the Junior Auxiliary. It is a great program and allows them to join in helping our Veterans and assisting with events.
Complete the application and include the required documentation to proudly join the AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY UNIT 208. Yearly membership is $30.00 (Senior)/$6.00 (Junior).

to those women who of their own right are eligible for membership in The American Legion.

However, eligibility of her female relatives (sister, mother, direct descendants) and/or spouse depends upon her membership in The American Legion.
Required Documentation

If the qualifying veteran is deceased, it is not a requirement to have been a member of the American Legion. You must submit a DD-214 (discharge paper) and a copy of their death certificate.
