American Legion Post 79 is proud to support the Boys State Program, which helps promote Americanism and develop future leaders for our community, state and nation

Paul Gotshall

Legion Chaplain

As an Army Veteran, I enjoy the camaraderie at Post 79. There is so much history displayed throughout the building, and the surrounding monuments. The exterior architecture is reminiscent of ancient Rome, and the interior serves as a museum honoring American citizens and military service members. I am proud to be part of such a patriotic organization.

Henderson Tyrell

Second Vice Commander

Post 79 is a great place for local veterans and families to gather, to support each other, and to promote programs that help veterans, active-duty personnel, and their families.
