American Legion Certificate of Nomination

Above is a picture of a Certificate of Nomination that I recently received from the American Legion National Headquarters. The letter that accompanied the certificate states that I have been nominated for membership in the American Legion, it does not state by whom I was nominated.

I find this interesting in that I have never served in any branch of the U.S. military service, which is a requirement for membership in the American Legion. Is this nomination the result of incorrect records somewhere, or is the American Legion sending these certificates of nomination to every person who could have been in U.S. military service?

Wake up America!
