A Strong Legion Family
We are truly a legion family. Thanks to the dedication of Paula Sahraoui as our current Ladies Auxiliary President and Martin Olszewski as the Sons of the Legion Commander. They have already been a great help to the Post. We look forward to working with them this year to continue to build our Post on all fronts.

Keep In Touch
Thanks to our Historian, Phil Ras’s hard work, our Post website has pictures & histories from 1949 when we were first chartered. Check it out at: www.ststanspost1771.org There is also a message board where you can keep in touch with other members as well as a current calendar of upcoming events. There are also links to many V.A. website that you may find helpful.
Comrades Beware
There is a phone scam going on specifically targeting veterans. People are calling stating they are from the V.A. asking for your SSN# and credit card information to insure your medicine prescriptions will not be affected. DO NOT give them any info. The V.A. does not request any financial data over the phone and already has your SSN#. Hang up on them.
