Commander’s Message By George T. Evans, Sr., Commander This is the final time I will be addressing you as your Commander. I want to thank all of you for your support of our Post and of me. It has truly been an honor and privilege to have served five years as your Commander, and my thanks to the officers that have served with me. There have been some bumps in the road, but we have gotten through them with our Post intact and financially sound. I wish all the incoming officers success and continued growth for our Post. Also, I would ask for your continued support of them and for our Post. And lastly, I would encourage all members to participate in decorating the Veterans graves Saturday May 26th. For God and Country and Support Our Troops.

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, war-time veteran’s organization, devoted to mutual helpfulness.  It is a not-for-profit community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members, men and women, in nearly 15,000 American Legion posts worldwide.

The American Legion Auxiliary was formed to aid the American Legion in carrying out the great program of peacetime service to America to which the American Legion is dedicated. All of our activities are designed to promote the work of the American Legion and to help the American Legion reach its objectives. Our members serve side by side with the members of the American Legion in a spirit of unselfish devotion to the well being of the American republic.

The Sons Of The American Legion was created in 1932 as an organized program within The American Legion. The S.A.L. is made up of boys and men of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the United States military and became eligible for membership in The American Legion. Together, members of The American Legion, The American Legion Auxiliary and the Sons of The American Legion make up what is known as The Legion Family. All three organizations place high importance on preserving our American traditions and values, improving the quality of life for our nation's children, caring for veterans and their families, and perhaps most importantly, teaching the fundamentals of good citizenship.
