The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization. Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Membership swiftly grew to over 1 million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at over 2.4 million in 14,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines.

      The John W. Lupu Memorial Post 306 is an organization whose members come from all walks of life who were active memebers in all branches of military service during times of American conflict.

     Our organizations' purporse is to support our fellow veterans and our communities. We do this by providing a large variety of progams sponsoring youth and adult activities as well as holding several fundraising activities throughout the course of the year.
