What Makes this Post Unique

 We are involved in the community; our members ar enrolled in other civic and nonprofit organizations in town.  Always looking to help the community, the children and youth.  We are like the little engine that could.  We die with our boots on.  Most of our members are as old as the Post, but respond to the call of need for help.

Our Post opened our doors to other civic organizations by offering our hall to conduct their meetings and when needed, their social gatherings at no  monetary cost to them.
