Commander's Welcome:

We appreciate you stopping by our website.  If you are just “surfing,” we hope that you find value in our information and the service we provide to the veterans and others in our community.  If you are  member, we wish to remind you of the enormous amount of information provided here to assist in keeping you abreast of the happenings at “your” Post.  In any case, enjoy your “visit” with the “friendliest Post” in the Rocky Mountains. 

Our Post has something for everyone and our monthly calendar is full of activities.  Each of these activities is a success because of a dedicated and hardworking membership.  Volunteers are the backbone of this type of organization and we never turn away the offer of a helping hand.  The work is rewarding and the sense of family is strong and genuine. 

Speaking of family, we have more than 100 members in the Legion and the Legion Auxiliary. We pride ourselves in taking care of and offering something for everyone in our family.  We have special gatherings at Christmas and for Veterans Day, participate in Memorial Day and Independence Day events, and sponsor other activities throughout the year. 

We are proud to sponsor many Legion programs, including Boys and Girls State, Oratorical, and others.   We are also active in donating time and resources to the community and looking for ways to promote patriotism in this great land of ours.  

If you are in the area, please stop by one of our meetings and say hello.  We are always looking to make new friends.  If you are a member and have not been active in the Post for awhile, stop-in at our monthly meeting and see what is new.  I promise either way you will be delighted.

You can contact me at commander@post1980.org

For God and Country,

Chuck Gardner
Commander
