Post 52 is proud to support many of the programs that the American Legion sponsors. Each year, we celebrate the birthday of the American Legion (established March 15, 1919) with a banquet to recognize the sacrifices of those on our home front. These are people who, through their unselfish service to our Community and Country, have contributed to our quality of life. We do this by recognizing one individual from Fire, Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, as well as others, for their out-standing support to our community. This years recipients are listed below.
