Membership in the American Legion offers
many benefits that include involvement in community programs, a
voice in Washington, investment in children and youth activities
and education, and camaraderie. Of course, our primary focus is
on veteran’s rights and the concerns for their families. That
is why we continue to lobby in Washington for the soldiers of yesterday
and the soldiers of tomorrow. The American Legion is a strong and
effective voice since we are the largest veteran’s
organization.
The American Legion also offers Member
Discount and Benefits through our National Organization: Insurance
and Health Services, Financial Services, Travel Discounts, Moving
and Home Discounts including Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Dell
Computers, Days Inn, Budget Rent a Car, and many more.
The involvement in the Pennsylvania American Legion can mean many
things to many Legionnaires. The Programs,
Committees, and Events that we are involved in is as diverse
as: politics and Legislative concerns, Children
and Youth programs, Americanism, Legion Baseball, and being involved
in the solution for Homeless Veterans.
