Clinton Legion Celebrating New National Standards

The Clinton American Legion Post is celebrating news from Washington that is now going to allow any veteran from any era to join their post.

 

Josh Thielen explains the previous regulation only allowed certain war era veterans to join their post but now, lawmakers have opened up the opportunity to anyone thanks to the Legion Act. He says this is huge.

 

 

There were a lot of moving parts to why this kept getting turned down at the federal level but Thielen believes the Legion finally had the backing of the right people in the capitol. He is thankful this has been passed.

 

 

According to Thielen, membership to the Clinton Legion is $31, a little lower than the area average. You don't have to be a veteran in Clinton to join. He adds you can be from outside the area and join the post. You can learn more about the Clinton Legion by finding them on Facebook.
