ABOUT THE AMERICAN LEGION

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization. Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Membership swiftly grew to over 1 million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at nearly 2 million in more than 13,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines.


Over the years, the Legion has influenced considerable social change in America, won hundreds of benefits for veterans and produced many important programs for children and youth. Visit www.legion.org to learn more.

OUR HISTORY

  Old Glory Post #183 was founded in 1946 with Fred Madden as Commander and Leonard Casselberry, Post Adjutant. In March 1947, S. Lucile and W.J. Wells, Jr. donated lake front property on Prairie Lake with the stipulation that the Post had to erect a building of not less than 625 sq. ft. within five years or the property would revert back to the Wells Family.   The Post received its American Legion Charter on March 28, 1947. The main Post Hall was dedicated in September 1986, in honor of Elbert Ramsey, past Commander, who died in office, the summer of 1986.
