FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Richard Ellis American Legion Post 205 Offers Free One-Year Membership to Active-Duty, Reserve, and National Guard Members
JANESVILLE, Wis. – Richard Ellis American Legion Post 205 is offering a free one-year membership to Active-Duty, Reserve, and National Guard members who live in the Janesville metropolitan area.
The initiative is intended to connect current service members with local veterans and the broader military community while introducing them to the American Legion’s longstanding commitment to service, patriotism, advocacy, veterans, military families, and the community.
“Many men and women currently serving in the Active-Duty, Reserve, and National Guard components don’t realize they are eligible to join the American Legion while they are still in uniform,” said Michael N. Olmsted, MBA, Vice Commander of Richard Ellis American Legion Post 205. “We want them to know they are welcome today—not years from now when they leave the military. This free first-year membership is our way of thanking those who continue to serve our country and inviting them to become part of an organization dedicated to veterans, military families, and our community.”
Post 205 meets at 6:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each month at the VFW Post Facility, 1015 Center Avenue, Janesville, Wisconsin. Meetings are also available through Google Meet, allowing prospective members to attend in person or online, meet current members, and learn more about the Post.
Those interested in the free one-year membership or learning more about Post 205 may visit www.wipost205.org, find Richard Ellis American Legion Post 205 on Facebook, or contact Michael N. Olmsted at [email protected] or Jacob Norquay at [email protected].
Richard Ellis American Legion Post 205 has proudly served veterans and the Janesville community for generations. Through this membership initiative, the Post hopes to strengthen connections between current service members and generations of veterans while supporting the future of the American Legion in southern Wisconsin.
