New Member Video
Maine American Legion member, Matt Jabaut, hosts a new member orientation video that provides a clear understanding of the nation’s largest veterans organization and what the Legion does to strengthen America. This video is a great way to understand and connect with our post and understand how we're positioned as a part of the larger organization.
MyLegion: Once your application is processed and you're assigned a member number...new members are urged to set up a MyLegion.org profile!
Once a veteran has joined The American Legion, an important next step is for that new member to create a MyLegion.org profile. There, it’s fast and easy to renew, a digital membership card can be found, and a portfolio of money-saving member benefits is available. New members can also choose e-newsletter subscriptions of interest to them, read The American Legion Magazine in digital format and more.
Legion+ The American Legion membership app provides a direct route for members to access their digital membership card, manage membership information, recruit a new member, help a suicidal veteran and get the latest news on legion.org. Download the Legion+ app through Apple iTunes and the Google Play store.

The American Legion is accomplishing this mission through training, events and asking everyone to be the one to save a life. Visit betheone.org.
Buddy Checks. More than 1.5 million veterans have been reached by American Legion Family members since the Buddy Check program launched in 2019. The Legion has a national resolution calling for Buddy Checks to be conducted in the weeks leading up to Veterans Day and the organization’s birthday in March, but posts are encouraged to conduct them year-round.
