 This is not your grandfathers American Legion Post! You and your family can join us! You’ll find that getting connected to the American Legion Family is one of the best decisions you will ever make.  Our service-oriented Post respects the sacrifices of both the warrior and his or her support network at home. We have all “been there and done that.”

We understand the pressures of life after your separation from the military. Work, school and raising children may not leave time for other pursuits.

That’s why our American Legion Post is different; we are here for you, not the other way around.

 If you have served federal active duty in the United States Armed Forces since December 7, 1941, and have been honorably discharged or are still serving - you are eligible to join the American Legion. At over 2 million members, it is the largest Veterans organization in the world.

We are a diverse and welcoming service oriented Post. If you are looking for a different kind of Veterans service organization, look no further.
