WHO WE ARE
Our General Membership is 266 strong! Our ranks are made up of 125 Army veterans, 52 Navy veterans, 28 Marine veterans, 45 Air Force veterans, 4 Coast Guard veterans and 10 whose service branches are not listed on our membership roster. Our veterans have served in all conflicts, including six members who served in WWII and our youngest member is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War.
We hold our membership meetings on the second Saturday of every month at 10:00AM and our executive board meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 10:00AM. Our meeting notes and by-laws are available to everyone, see Commander Robert Scott for a copy.
Our projects include:
Jr ROTC
We partner with Lecanto High School and contribute time and funds to assist in the development of our future soldiers.
American Legion Boys State
We sponsor a deserving high school junior to attend this program. Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for U.S. high school students. At Boys State, participants learn the rights, privileges and responsibilities of franchised citizens. The training is objective and centers on the structure of city, county and state governments and is operated by students elected to various offices.
