Legion Goal Five Million Members Set for 1949
The American Legion opens its 30th national convention in Miami with a target of 5,000,000 members for 1949. As of Oct. 8 the organization lists 3,065,614 members, with 17,000 posts, after a postwar membership slump. The drive notes rising defense interest and many WWII veterans as potential members, including more than 250,000 former Waves WACs Spars and nurses now in the Legion.
