The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members an

d veterans. In contrast to other veterans organizations, the Legion offers a number of local programs and activities to strengthen its commitment to our nation’s grass roots and the people we serve. American Legion Baseball is one of the nation’s most successful amateur athletic programs; it continues to educate youths on the importance of sportsmanship and develops the quality of our country’s citizenship. The Heroes to Hometowns program is the only nationwide reintegration assistance service for wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Additionally, millions of dollars in donations have been given to fellow veterans and their families in times of grief, and various scholarship opportunities ensure the future success of our youth. The American Legion is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization with great political influence perpetuated by its grass-roots involvements in the legislation process. Legionnaires’ sense of obligation to their community, state and nation drives an honest advocacy for veterans in Washington. The Legion stands not behind politics, but the issues and people that institute progress by focusing on veterans rights and quality of life. The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives.

A little context regarding our temporary closure…

We’ve received a few questions and concerns after last night’s post, so we want to reassure everyone: nothing additional has happened to American Legion Post 260.

Our building is temporarily closed primarily because we still do not have electrical power following last week’s storm.

For six straight days, our Legion Family volunteers worked out of a building with no electricity and no air conditioning, preparing and serving meals to members of our community. After everything that has taken place, both our volunteers and our facility need a little time to recover.

Once power is restored, we still have work to do before we can responsibly reopen. The building will need to be thoroughly cleaned, the entire bar will need to be restocked, and we want to conduct a complete inspection of the property to make sure there is no storm damage that may have been overlooked while the building has been without power.

We may also take advantage of this temporary closure to complete some much-needed repairs and improvements to our facility while we have the opportunity to do so.

Most importantly, Post 260 remains available. The building may be closed, but our organization is not. If you have questions, need assistance, or need to reach someone at the Post, please send us a message through this page. We will continue monitoring messages and responding as we are able.

This is temporary. Post 260 isn’t going anywhere.

If anything, the last week has demonstrated exactly why organizations like the American Legion matter. When our community needed help, our Legion Family went to work.

We appreciate everyone’s patience, concern and continued support. We will reopen as soon as we can do so safely and properly, and we’ll keep everyone updated along the way.

The doors may be temporarily closed, but the mission continues. 🇺🇸
