This page is dedicated to honoring and remembering the brothers and sisters of American Legion Post 221 who have answered the final roll call and transferred to “Post Everlasting.”
Though they are no longer with us, their service, sacrifice, fellowship, and devotion to God and Country will never be forgotten. Their legacy lives on through the lives they touched, the community they served, and the comrades who continue the mission they held dear.
May they rest in peace, and may their memory forever be preserved on these pages and in the hearts of their Legion family.
