Can you do both VFW AND American Legion? I'd always thought it was one or the other, but then I am neither a Veteran of a Foreign War nor a retired AD military person.

AL you served during war time. (WW 2, Korea, Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan) but necessarily in the war zone
VFW served and received a campaign medal indicating overseas service.

Also Desert Shield/Storm and that's "not" necessarily in a war zone. As long as you were serving somewhere during the inclusive dates. I was in Hawaii(25th ID) during Desert Shield/Storm so I am good for AL but not VFW. One of these days I need to get on that.

If my memory serves me correctly, membership in the Legion only requires honorable service: not needed to have served in war time.  I belong to both: twice qualified for VFW(Korea service and VN).  Both are good organizations: I prefer our local VFW Post, but that's a local thing.

My grandfather was a founding member of the Ameican Legion in Paris in 1919. My father, myself and my two oldest children are members too.

[The CyBorg is destroyed]

I get mailings from the Legion now and again asking me to join.  I've never joined, though...I don't feel I'd be worthy to sit among these people who have really served.  I was just an ANG guy who got a medical discharge (honourable conditions) before his enlistment was complete.
