What is the difference between VFW and American Legion?
The American Legion accepts members of the Merchant Marines, whom were given Veteran Status in the 1980's. The VFW continues to NOT accept Merchant Marines for membership. The American Legion is far larger organization with more members and more resources. There are many more Legions than VFW's.
