While the primary benefits
of membership in The American Legion - preventing the erosion of the programs
and promises you have already earned by your service to the country, the support
and comradeship of your fellow soldiers, and the feeling of belonging to
something that is larger then yourself - cannot be pointed out in a few words
and a link to a page, there are several secondary, but more direct, benefits
that can be, and some of them are listed here. (For a more complete
