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. The American Legion is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization. The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives. The Allegany American Legion Charles Harbel Post #892 family is comprised of Legionnaires, Sons of the American Legion and the Auxiliary. We welcome any visitors to stop by our legion and introduce themselves. And, we are always ready to accept new members to our legion family
The Allegany American Legion Post serves a buffet type breakfast every third Sunday of the month from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM. |
