The Hawkeye State is home to Legion Baseball legends, war heroes and veterans who chose lives of public service. Future President Ronald Reagan broke into broadcasting here, the same state where he trained to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II. The Iowa American Legion Family, including the American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion and Legion Riders, always make a splash at national events and parades, cornstalks in hand. Hundreds of Iowans have been mentored through Hawkeye Boys State, Junior Shooting Sports, Oratoricals and other wholesome, healthy youth programs.

  • August 2021 Newsletter
    AMERICAN LEGION CLINTON POST 259 SEPTEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER pg. 1 COMMANDER’S CORNER Dear Legion Family, The month of September brings to mind the observance of events that are of two extremes. The first is the Labor Day holiday that’s an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers in recognition of their contribution to America’s strength and well-being. The second is the remembrance of one of the darkest days in America’s history in which thousands of lives were lost on September 11, 2001 from two attacks carried out by terrorists from Al Qaeda. This resulted in the observance of September 11th as “Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance” in honor of the victims of these attacks. September also kicks off the 2021 NFL Season that will be the first to feature a 17-game regular season schedule as the league expanded the regular season from 16 games. As with past years, the Post will run a Superseason Pool and the chance of winning will increase with the added game. Good luck to all participants! Finally, as the COVID-19 Delta Variant has caused a significant increase in new cases and hospitalization rates around the country, members are reminded not to let your guard down just yet. Continue to wear your mask, but most importantly, get vaccinated because it has been proven that the vaccination offers protection. Yours in Legion Service, Willie E. Evans Commander pg. 2 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS 2021 – 2022 Commander Willie E.
