Month: November 2022

The new national website has been live for several weeks. It is at:

https://loyallegion.org

 

The application form (long form) for hereditary membership, revised in March 2022, is now available on the National MOLLUS website, here —

https://loyallegion.org/download-application/

— and also on our own website, on our Membership page.

This form is organized in such a way that it can be used for those descended from a sibling or a first cousin of an eligible officer.

We have just learned that the new National website for the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States is live, at this new URL:

https://loyallegion.org/

At our meeting on October 30, 2022, the Rhode Island Commandery voted to extend hereditary membership to descendants of first cousins of eligible officers.

This action had been taken at the National level with the proviso that each state commandery have the choice of implementing it.

Previously, hereditary membership was open to descendants of eligible officers or descendants of siblings of eligible officers.

Inquiries are welcome from all who may be interested in hereditary membership in this, one of the oldest hereditary societies in the United States and one with particular relevance in our time.  Those who live in or near Rhode Island or who, regardless of current domicile, have connections to Rhode Island forces are especially welcome.
