GAR (Grand Army of the Republic); VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars); AM LEGION (American Legion founded by WWI vets); AMVETS (American Veterans founded by WWII Vets); and the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America founded by Viet War vets) are Veteran's groups.

Probably not, it's a veteran's organization created in 1919 by WWI vets. The VFW was created by Spanish-American War vets in 1899. The AMVETS is a WWII vet group created by WWII vets in 1944. The VVA is a Viet War vet group created by US Viet Vets in 1979.

The Great patriotic War. there is also an OGPW - both an award and a membership organization - Order of the Great Patriotic War.- in the latter form it is analogous to the American Legion or VFW but is limited to Combatant vets, not rear-echelon types such as cyrptographers ( however vital!)

How do you join American Legion?

Send them a copy of your discharge document and they'll tell you how much their membership is. The Legion might be the most expensive of the vet groups. The VFW is the most popular because it is the ONLY vet organizatoin with the word "war" in it's title. And people covet the title of "war vet." The VFW is America's oldest vet group founded originally by Spanish-American War veterans in 1899. The AL was started by WWI vets in 1919. The AMVETs were started by WWII vets in 1944. The VVA was started by Viet Vets in about 1979. But the VVA was "sort of" special...they were founded because no other US vet group would allow them in...without alot of red tape. Consequently, their motto is "We'll never turn our back on another veteran" (like what happened to them).
