Who We Are – Our Mission
From the American Legion National Website: The American Legion is built on a promise from men and women who swore with their lives to defend and protect the United States through military service. The promise begins at enlistment, grows through training and discipline in the U.S. Armed Forces and continues after discharge, as veterans in service to community, state and nation.
Post 1976 prides itself on fostering a close knit, fun and inclusive environment for veterans, auxiliary members and their families to meet, socialize and serve the community.
