Charter of Post 44

World War 1. The War to end all Wars cost this nation greatly, and Routt County certainly paid it's fair share. Leo Hill was the son of C.F. and Mamie Hill. He joined the Army in 1917 and served with the 74th Company, 6th Regiment, 2nd Division as a corporal. He was killed at the battle of Chateau Thierry on July 19, 1918. He was the first Steamboat Springs soldier to be killed in World War I, and is honored as the namesake for Post 44.
