I’d have to ask them, but I’ve not seen any of our AL members in uniform. The caps, yes. I too have one. We wear them at our meetings (those of us who hold office), and all members wear them for public events, or at post special functions such as our installation and Christmas banquets.

Even at our installation banquet last year, the division and state officials who attended did not wear uniforms.

I’m in the W Dundee Legion, post 57. Hats are standard. Uniforms for parades (sometimes) or when we put to rest one of our own, or if requested by family members of any vet.

I was mainly referring to our VFW, where I have never seen so many field jackets at a bar. I bet I can count on one hand the number of field jackets I’ve seen at our Legion Post, and it has been years since.

Legion is just a different clientele from the VFW where I’m at. I like it much more.
