Post Everlasting
The term "Post Everlasting" refers to the final destination of American Legion members who have passed away, symbolizing their eternal presence in the hearts of their community. It signifies a place of honor where these veterans are remembered for their service and contributions to the country and their fellow Comrades. The phrase reflects the enduring legacy of these individuals and the importance of honoring their memory in the American Legion tradition. Post 98 remembers our fallen Comrades with a Post Everlasting Ceremony every November prior to our Membership meeting.
