In the News…
Did I mention that our own John & Betty Hall was the grand marshals of our parade? John & Betty Hall were selected as well as the 2022 Elk Grove Citizens of the Year for their work with the American Legion, the Elk Grove Food Bank and more. Read more about it here. Elk Grove Citizens of the Year
Our Calendar…
Check out our Post Calendar. During a normal year, we have many activities available throughout the year. Find one (or two) and join in the fun. Our post has a very active membership and we hope you have a chance to come and visit. We also post the meetings and activities for Auxiliary, Sons and Riders.
Here is a link to the American Legion’s National Website. You will find more links under the Members tab.
Here is a link to renew your membership. Click Here to Renew. Did you know that your dues are done on an annual basis, January through December, not a fiscal calendar basis. That means that you need to pay your dues in December so that you are not delinquent as of the first of the year.
Next Steps…
If you are a veteran, you need to be a part of this organization. Our sole purpose is to support our fellow veterans. Join us and help out your fellow veterans.

Many of you have seen and asked about the military member banners along Civic Center Drive, Bruceville Road and Elk Grove Blvd and wondered who at the Legion to contact to have your son or daughter or your dad or your mom honored with a banner for their service.
Well, that is another reason I love Elk Grove. Those banners are put there by our City, not the veteran’s organizations. To learn more, click here. It only costs about $150 to have the banner made and placed. They are there for 1 year.
Also, did you know that the City of Elk Grove often names streets after veterans. Yes, they do. You can learn more on the City of Elk Grove Website.
You can read more about the City’s support of veterans in the November-December issue of the Elk Grove City Newsletter as well.
