Post 72 is part of The American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans service organization. Our mission is simple:

• Support and advocate for veterans and their families

• Strengthen our community through service and outreach

• Promote American values, patriotism, and remembrance

We honor the legacy of those who served by continuing to serve today.

At Post 72, veterans never stand alone. We provide:

• Assistance with VA benefits and resources

• Support networks for veterans and families

• Community programs and service opportunities

• Fellowship and shared purpose among fellow veterans

If you or someone you know needs help, support begins with a conversation—and our door is always open.

Post 72 proudly supports and participates in a wide range of programs, including:

• Legion Family: Auxiliary & Sons of the American Legion

• Youth programs: Boys State, JROTC engagement, scholarships

• Community service: Events, local partnerships, volunteer initiatives

• Patriotic ceremonies: Memorial Day, Veterans Day, flag education

• Support for active-duty personnel and their families

We believe in building a stronger community through leadership and service.

Membership at Post 72 means more than belonging to an organization—it means being part of a family with a shared commitment to country, service, and each other.

Veterans, active-duty personnel, and family members of veterans are all eligible to join.
