Membership is open to: Present or former Regular or Reserve members of the US Armed Forces. Individuals who have been discharged or released from duty must not have received a less than honorable discharge. The required documentation is a copy of a DD214 to prove to the I.R.S. that you are a prior serviceman within the meaning of Section 501(c)(19) I.R.C. and Section 170(c)(3) I.R.C. If no DD214, then something equivalent; i.e., a copy of any published orders, which lists you as a member of a unit. Please make sure they are readable. Most importantly: list the inclusive dates of your active service; i.e., the day/month/year you joined and the day/month/year you were separated or discharged. Regular membership dues to join are $25.00; after the first year, renewals are $25.00.
