About Us - American Legion Post 1492

World War I veterans founded the The American Legion in 1919 to assist their fellow veterans and their families and to maintain a strong national defense. This concept of service has been expanded over the years to include programs involving veterans' employment assistance, family, community, and patriotic values.

Membership in The American Legion is not a requirement for us to assist anyone. However, many of the benefits that veterans enjoy have resulted from the efforts of our members over the years.

If you're interested in helping, and if you meet eligibility requirements (see below), we would be honored to have you as a member. Contact any American Legion member or come sit in on one of our meetings.

See you there.
