What Makes this Post Unique
Our Post sits on prime property in one of most sought after Northern Virginia communities. We are minutes from the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters and near the burgeoning mini-city of Tysons Corner. Our active members are mostly retired and longtime residents of the community. We have an active Auxiliary unit and Sons of the American Legion squadron. Our post home is open for meetings, special events and activities. Our first post home was built of cinderblock in the mid-late 1940s by our members. For many years, we have raised funds through the sale of Florida citrus to support our many Legion programs.
