"To be eligible, you must be a male descendant (includes
stepsons and adopted sons) of a member of The American Legion.
You would also be eligible to join the Sons of The American Legion if
you are the male descendant (stepsons and adopted sons included) of a

Korean War, the Vietnam War, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, or the Persian
Gulf War (see specific time periods for service during these conflicts).
You would also be eligible to join the Sons of The American Legion if
you are the male descendant (stepsons and adopted sons included) of a
