Welcome to the American Legion Department of France
Also visit the Sons of the American Legion
Thank you for visiting our official Department web site. We agreed during the Department Executive Committee meeting on March 10, 2007 in Bastogne, Belgium to invest in a professional site with the goal of communicating to a greater audience and also keeping our Legion Family membership informed.
You will find all of our Post contact information by clicking on the CONTACT US gold star. There you can locate an American Legion Post near you and then communicate with the Post Commander and Post Adjutant about community activities and the possibility to become a Post member.
Once you have the information on the Post you would like to join click on the APPLICATION button and follow the online instructions. The American Legion is available wherever there are veterans wanting to help veterans and thier community. A Legionnaire can be Active Duty, Retired, or one that has served Honorably during a time of war and then returned to civilian service.
The Department of France has Legion Post's not only in France but also in Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Germany. If there isn't a Legion Post in your area and you are interested in creating one, then please go to the DEPT OFFICERS link and contact the Department Commander, the Department Adjutant and the Department Membership Chairman to discuss chartering an American Legion Post in your Community.
Please look at the DEPT EVENTS and commit to attend the next Department Executive Committee meeting and the next Department Convention.
