Our original Charter application has been located and shows that the third endorsement signed Sept 3 1919 with charter to follow in the name of Wiley Sheets Post 28. When our name changed to Trujillo-Sheets we received an amended charter dated Feb. 12, 1937. Named after 2 Durango WW1 veterans that gave the ultimate price for our freedom.
