[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3267633, member: 44288"] The new piece of legislation that he signed at the end of July will honor some 1,600 service members who were killed or wounded during previously undeclared periods of war. “The LEGION Act (Let Everyone Get Involved In Opportunities for National Service Act) also opens the door for approximately six million veterans to access American Legion programs and benefits for which they previously had not been eligible,” [URL='https://www.legion.org/membership/246557/legion-act-signed-law']The American Legion[/URL] noted in a report about these developments. “Recognizing the service of these wartime veterans is the right thing do and it is long overdue,” National Commander Brett Reistad said, as the organization reported. “The families of those who were killed or wounded during these wartime acts should take pride in knowing that we recognize their sacrifice and service. Moreover, we are proud to welcome any of the six million living veterans from the previously unrecognized periods into our organization and call them ‘Legionnaires.’” “Now that the legislation has been signed, The American Legion’s eligibility criteria immediately changes from seven war eras to two: April 6, 1917, to Nov. 11, 1918, and Dec. 7, 1941 to a time later determined by the federal government.” “No other restrictions to American Legion membership are changed. ” [/QUOTE]
