June of 1943, Shelby O'Brien Post 326 sent its first young junior men from Shelby High School. The junior men attended Buckeye Boys State held at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. Those young men were then members of the graduating class of 1944. These numbers of students is a wonderful reflection for the community of Shelby and the role The American Legion plays in our community!
