American Legion Post 164

Our Story

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans. Hundreds of local American Legion programs and activities strengthen the nation one community at a time. An individual is eligible for membership in The American Legion only if the individual:

Has served in the Armed Forces of the United States at any time during the period of April 6, 1917, through November 11, 1918; or any time after December 7, 1941 through to the present day;

or a government associated with the United States Government during a period or time referred to above and was a citizen of the United States when the individual entered that service;

was honorably discharged or separated from that service or continues to serve honorably during or after that period or time.
