100 Years in the Making (2013-2019)
Beginning with the 95th National Convention in 2013, only the American Legion National Commander, the Auxiliary National President, and the Sons of the American Legion National Commander receive the traditional pinned badges. Distinguished Guests receive badges on the neck ribbons shown in the exhibit, while delegates receive identification tags on lanyards.
