I am writing to share my thoughts on the importance of finding a place where veterans still recognize the value of a mission to help the community. I Believe it is vital to have a space where we understand the shared drive to serve our fellow Americans through Legion programs and a place dedicated to supporting veterans by veterans.
Jeremy Zaleski
Senior Vice Commander
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
