Please see the document below from National Judge Advocate of The American Legion, Mark C. Seavey regarding DD214’s. The attached document is effective immediately.
 
The Post Adjutant or Legion Post Officer – if the Legion Post Adjutant is not available – must verify a member’s eligibility by reviewing the DD214 and then promptly return the documents to the individual. No copies or electronic records are to be made and-or kept. The only time the Unit Secretary can verify the DD214 is if it is a female veteran joining the ALA under her own service.
 
This information has been emailed out to ALL current County Presidents, Unit Presidents and Unit Membership Chairman on ALAMIS.
 
For God and Country,
Barbara A. Corker
Secretary/Director of Operations
