A Special message

We are pleased to announce that the 83rd Infantry Division Association has expanded eligibility for Legacy Membership. We also introduce a new category – “Active Duty Membership” for those currently serving in the 83^rd Army Reserve Readiness Training Center (ARRTC).

What’s new?

All current spouses, widows, and widowers of those eligible to be a Regular Member, lineal descendants by birth or adoption to include sons, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of persons living or deceased who are (were) eligible for Regular Membership and current spouses; and collateral descendants by blood or marriage to include nephews, nieces, grand nephews and nieces of Members, great grand nephews and nieces, current spouses and surviving widows.

For the Association to continue to thrive as a national organization, to continue to honor our veterans, and to continue to preserve and promote the 83rd’s historical legacy for future generations, we must continue to grow.

How will we do that?

Our veterans’ stories, their buddies’ stories, must become our families’ stories – the daily physical danger and hardships, the seemingly impossible odds of surviving combat, the liberation of countless villages and towns … a concentration camp — all of it, the unvarnished reality of war.

And to become our families’ stories, we have to share them with our families – spouses, our brothers and sisters, grandchildren and great grandchildren, grand nephews and grand nieces. We firmly believe that the Association can serve as a catalyst by reaching out to all Legacy candidates to join us – starting with our own family members.

Renewed membership options

2018 Membership Dues (dues year begins Aug 1)

- Additional Family Members $20

All the benefits of membership are listed below.
