Membership Information


The American Legion is the nation's largest and most powerful organization of U.S. wartime veterans and their families.  Since its inception by an act of Congress in 1919, The American Legion has delivered meaningful improvements for veterans, families and communities.  The Legion ushered in the modern VA; it drafted and drove home passage of the original GI Bill and the Post 9/11 GI Bill; and has helped to create health-care benefits for veterans and programs designed to provide decent civilian careers after military service discharge.

The American Legion works tirelessly on behalf of all U.S. servicemen and women.  It is recognized as a national leader in transition assistance from military to civilian life, providing resources for careers, education opportunities, child care and more.

For more than 70 years, The American Legion Post 382 has reached out to help veterans, their families, and the community.  As veteran members we are proud of what we do and believe it a true privilege to belong.

To be eligible for membership in The American Legion the veteran must have served with the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corp, Air Force, Coast Guard or Merchant Marines (12/7/1941-12/31/1946 only) during the following military service periods:

      • April 6, 1917 - November 11, 1918.
      • December 7, 1941 - December 31, 1946.
      • June 25, 1950 - January 31, 1955.

Commander's Message

Post Commander Andy Dupuis, USAF (Ret.)    You're Always Welcome        Yes, you're always welcome.  As a military veteran or member of a veteran's family, the doors to The American Legion Charles J.

Chaplain's Communiqué

April 2018 Message (Rev. David Gillis, Post Chaplain) Understanding Our Dual-Citizenship The events surrounding the holiday we know as Easter and with it the season of Spring always brings with it a refreshing invitation to new beginnings.  As Legionnaires we are also approaching a new membership year, a new beginning, and closer to our 100 th anniversary as the nation’s oldest and largest veterans’ organizations, yet another new beginning.   We have so much to look forward to and so very much to be thankful for.   Possibly as we’re exploring new beginnings it is an ideal time for us as Legionnaires to renew our vision as to who we are and why we maintain membership in this organization.  That shouldn’t be too difficult since we begin our membership meetings with a commitment to God and country that we associate ourselves together for ten specific purposes.  Here we are identifying ourselves as dual citizens – one is of God’s kingdom and the other ...
