This free membership poster can now be customized with specific post contact information.

Free, customized membership recruitment poster now available online for posts to download.

Local posts now have the opportunity to download and print a free color member-recruitment poster to hang in their communities, with their direct contact information already on the page.

Titled “The Military Experience,” the poster is located here. It is a former advertisement for The American Legion, placed in military publications by National Headquarters several years ago to find new members. The ad was developed “with a simple patriotic theme that captures the commitment of Legionnaires to serve their country and their fellow veterans. The message is powerful and enduring: the military experience is one that transcends generations,” said National Public Relations Division Director Joe March.

After a bit of updating, the ad was recently re-launched by Public Relations staff as a poster, with one important addition: By clicking on the provided space, anyone can type in the address, phone number, Web site and contact person for their post, print it out on letter-sized paper, then distribute it in their area. There is no charge for this poster.

A larger, 18”x 24” version, with contact information for National Headquarters, is available from Emblem Sales. Suitable to be framed and hung in posts or homes, each poster is $2.95.
