The  American Legion Post 690 is celebrating their 100th year! The American Legion was founded in 1919. Post 690 was founded in 1924. If you are a Veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, please join us this year. If you are a relative of a Veteran you are eligible to join the Sons of the American Legion or the American Legion Auxiliary. We work as a family to support and assist Veterans and Veteran families.
