2023 Membership Card Availability
Due to a paper shortage at Georgia Pacific, Illinois along with 23 other Departments will not get membership cards to distribute before the 2023 renewals start. There is no projection date for delivery so please do not call Department asking about them. When we get them we will promptly distribute them to the Posts provided that the Post has submitted their Certification of Officers as well as their Consolidated Post Report. We want you to have them as soon as possible. This is for the 2023 Membership card year.

Legacy Run through Illinois In August
The 2022 Legacy run is scheduled to run through Illinois on August 24 with stops in Bloomington and Marseilles. Since 2006, American Legion Riders have made it an annual mission to roll thousands of miles as a group every summer along the nation’s roadways – rain or shine, mountains or deserts – to raise college money for young people whose parents sacrificed some or all of their lives in defense of our nation. Along the way, Legacy Run participants have paid respects at memorial sites, laid wreaths at the graves of fallen military men and women, met surviving families and have shown the nation – gathered to wave flags alongside roads and on overpasses across the land – just what it means to ride for a “cause, not applause.” 2022 Route Announcement and Legacy Run Brochure and Schedule / Stops
