STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand One
A RESOLUTION urging Congress to expand eligibility for membership in the American Legion.
Whereas, membership in the American Legion is restricted to veterans who served during certain periods set by Congress of wartime service; and
Whereas, membership in the American Legion is declining; and
Whereas, many otherwise qualified veterans are prevented from joining the American Legion due to the restrictions on dates of service; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
That the general court of the state of New Hampshire hereby urges Congress to expand membership in the American Legion to include all veterans with records of honorable, active duty service in the United States Armed Forces, regardless of dates of service; and
That copies of this resolution shall be forwarded by the house clerk to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and to each member of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
Approved April 24, 2001
