American Legion Post 293 is made up of four constituent organizations: The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion, and Legion Riders. Each organization has it own rules for membership, which are summarized below. Post 293 welcomes new membership inquiries and invites you to read through the requirements for membership and to find the organization that is right for you.
For current, returning, and transfer members of the American Legion, Post 293 encourages you to manage your Legion Membership account using the MyLegion.org website. You can pay dues, print membership cards, and manage your profile directly from this page. https://www.mylegion.org/
