The roster of the military and naval services of our members reads like a history of America. In it are those who saw service in the Mexican War of 1848, Civil War, Indian campaigns, Spanish American War, Boxer Rebellion, Insurrections, Border Campaigns, World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. Our dead are those of the U.S.S. Maine, and peacetime catastrophe.
OUR MEMBERS
Presidents William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt. Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower head the list of ANU members. General of the Armies, John J. Pershing; General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur; Admiral William S. Sims for the Navy; Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler for the Marines; Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker for the Air Force, adorn our membership rolls. Our ranks include holders of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and holders of the Navy Cross, and Distinguished Service Cross
The Army and Navy Union, U.S.A., is limited to membership in no particular war, or campaign, and so in no other veteran organization is such a galaxy of names and achievements possible. To all those in the above categories must be added those who are in service now, and their name in legion.
OUR BADGE
The Army and Navy Union, U.S.A., has a distinctive membership badge, and two acts of congress, the first of May 11, 1894, the second that of March 2, 1907, authorized our members in service to wear it on their uniforms.
