A Bolshevik revolution in the united states
The American Legion, founded in 1919, is the largest veterans organization in the United States. The organization is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
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.
Of all the US veteran organizations (VFW-founded in 1899 by Spanish-American War veterans/American Legion-founded in 1919 by WWI veterans/American Veterans-founded in 1944 by WWII veterans/Vietnam Veterans of America-founded in 1978 by Vietnam War veterans) the Legion appears to be the most expensive to join. Possibly because it traditionally has had the most high profiled members...such as US Presidents. The VFW is by far the most popular for Hollywood & the common man, because it is the only veteran's group with the word "WAR" in it's title. And nearly all veterans want to be associated with the term, "war veteran."
The "American Legion" was created by WWI veterans in about 1919. The "Veterans of Foreign Wars" (VFW) was created by Spanish-American Veterans of 1898, and is our oldest Veterans group. The "American Veterans" (AMVETS) was created by WWII veterans. Originally, these veteran groups were open to only their own veterans, but as time went by they opened to all "qualified" veterans.

The answer is complicated as it depends on many things, when & where the veteran served, service connected disabilities, current income (for needs based benefits), etc. The best resource to answer this is the VA or by contacting a veterans service organization such as The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), or Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) , among others.
