To assemble a chronological history of Post 99 became very challenging since much of the early history is not known or was destroyed in a post fire on July 19, 1992. I appreciate the help from members, (both past and present), in this endeavor. Special thanks to Past Historian and Life Member Al Hardy, who spent many hours locating and obtaining documents from Department of Alabama, fellow Legion members and other sources to compile Post 99 history in 2006. Notable contributions were from the following sources:
Charles Boller (Deceased) Past Commander
(Much information when Al was unit Historian)
Thomas (Ted) Dyre Post Commander (1949) (91 years old)
