American Legion Post 97
Giving Back to Our Nation’s Heroes
Chartered in 1920, American Legion Post 97 is committed to serving veterans in Auburn, IN. We honor these brave individuals by providing them with a warm, friendly environment in which they can get together with other former soldiers. Moreover, we hold activities with veterans’ families and organize other social events within the community.
Hello Legion family,
Hope everyone is having a good summer and getting some time with family and friends.
First, a big thank you to all who took part in the July 4th parade in downtown Auburn. Two hundred and fifty years of freedom didn’t come free — we owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who paid the price for it. Our float took first place… and yes, we were also the only float. Still counts.
On August 6th we will host the Fourth District installation of officers. Our own William Towle — past Post Commander and current Fourth District Vice Commander — will be installed as Fourth District Commander. Congratulations, Bill. Post 97 is proud of you and your family.
Good news on the Treasure Hunt: the pot is back up and growing. We’re sitting at $5,600. Come down to the Post, enjoy the camaraderie, and grab a meal with your fellow Legionnaires.
It is with a heavy heart that I share this next part. As I was preparing this message, I learned that one of our own, Mike Bebee, has passed. Mike was a Legion and LAR member and was well known to many of us. Please keep Jennifer and the family in your thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, brother. As the Riders say… until we ride again.
God bless,
Clare Fater
