JOHN V. FOLSOM***************CHEWELAH, WASHINGTON
SOON TO COME TO THIS PAGE WILL BE SOME EARLY HISTORY ABOUT OUR POST & WHO WE ARE, ETC. Additional history will get posted on the "History" page within this website as we sort out our early Post history.
Some History is currently being hi-lighted on the walls of the Hall presented by our Veteran organizations. And new "shadow boxes" are being constructed to display more military uniforms honoring all 5 of our military services.

We are always looking for new members to get involved with our organization. If you want to join LOCAL VETERANS WORKING TO HELP VETERANS and our COMMUNITY, then you may want to check us out. If you know someone who is interested in joining our organization, bring them down to the Post to meet with us.
To be eligible you need only to be a Veteran of certain periods that are defined on the application.

We are in need of new members to strengthen our Post and help support our programs, and enjoy the many fun events that we share at our Post.

Desert Storm, Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans: "WELCOME HOME" We sincerely appreciate your service to our Country. Please come down to the Club or to an American Legion meeting so we can thank you in person for your honorable service to our Great Nation.
Our Service Officers are always ready to assist our Veterans. If your having a problem with a claim, or in need of assistance in placing a claim to the VA, talk with Gary Roach or Jim Mach and they will get things rolling for you or get you in touch with someone who can help you. There are also Veteran assistance programs for those Veterans in need.
FLAG RETIREMENT BIN
We now have a metal "old and weary" flag collection bin. People who wish to retire their flag can just drop them off into this bin. The members of the Post have a Flag Retirement Ceremony every few months to retire each and every flag with honor and dignity. If you know of someone that is flying an old worn/torn flag, let them know that there is a way to dispose of it with dignity.
