There are 13 American Legion Posts and 13 Legion Auxialiary Units in District 1.
As with any organization, membership and participation are vital to what we accomplish. For generations now the American Legion and Auxiliary have been vital in the support of our service men and women, as well as to their family members. Beyond our role as spokespersons to government programs that may help or hinder those that serve, we also are active in our local communities.
Legion baseball, Girls & Boys State, Teacher of the Year, Firefighter of the Year, Law Enforcement Officer of the Year and Oratorical Contest are just a few of the many ways we support our local communities. You are what makes it possible, so become a member and become involved!
