A Message from Our Commander

Dear Friends and Fellow Veterans,

Welcome to our American Legion Post! As your Commander, I am proud to lead a team that embodies the spirit of camaraderie, service, and dedication to our fellow veterans, their families, and our local community. Our post is not just a gathering place; it is a sanctuary where we honor the sacrifices made by those who served before us and continue to serve today. Together, we strive to create an environment that inspires connection, support, and friendship among all members. Whether you are a veteran or simply someone who values the contributions of our armed forces, you will find a warm welcome here.

We invite you to join us in our mission to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood while actively engaging in meaningful service projects. From community outreach programs to veteran assistance initiatives, there are countless ways for you to get involved and make a difference. Your participation not only enriches your own life but also enhances the lives of those around you. Come in, share your stories, and become part of our vibrant community. Together, we can build a legacy of service that honors our past while paving the way for a brighter future. We look forward to meeting you!

What we stand for

For God and Country, we associate ourselves together for the following purposes:
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America;
To maintain law and order;
To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism;
To preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in all wars;
To inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation;
To combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses;
To make right the master of might;
To promote peace and goodwill on earth;
To safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy;
To consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

During any typical year, our post donates thousands of dollars to the local community and veteran activities! These donations included great organizations like Veteran Affairs Voluntary Services (VAVS), Windhaven Veterans Program by Lifeline connections, Little League, North County Lions, and Clark County Marine Cadets, along with direct aid to stricken families and veterans, funeral services, and other aid through volunteer services.

If you have a veteran who passed, and you would like full military honors, or you are unsure how to honor your hero, please reach out to us, we would be honored to assist.

Who we are!

Our Post located in Amboy Washington has a growing membership from the local community. We are a small country post with a very hospitable and relaxed group of veterans.
