Post PUFLs

  
 

A 'PUFL' is a member who is Paid-Up-For-Life. They paid a large lump sum to assure them the benefits of the American Legion for life.

They will NEVER see another post, county, state or national dues increase again! It really is a good deal. Go online to the National website & get a quote, pick a payment plan & proceed from there.
