Eligibility Requirements for ALA Membership
Additional Considerations:
1. If a request
for American Legion Auxiliary membership is based on
a family member who is living, that person must be a
member of The American Legion.
2. If a request for
Auxiliary membership is based on a deceased veteran
who was not a member of The American Legion, the prospective
member will be required to provide verifying documentation
that proves their eligibility.
Acceptable documentation to verify eligibility are:
- DD214 (not issued until Korean War)
- Official military orders
- Official military service citations/awards
- Letters related to the veteran’s military service on official government letterhead
- Certificate from the V A records center in St. Louis, and Data from the back of older discharges.
