By: P Ciarelli

On: 2020-09-03

Paul Herrick Post 21 has the honor of hosting the 1st District POW/MIA Silent March this year, and because of recent events we would like to make it a special one.

We, the stewards of Paul Herrick Post 21, paid for by the citizens of this great city, continue to serve the United States of America. We made an oath to this country that did not stop when we changed into civilian clothes. We have the responsibility to make the Post a bastion of patriotism in downtown Kenosha. We also have the responsibility to be a voice for those that gave up their voices for our country. No matter what political party, race, religion, or sex, we stand as one honoring those that did not come home yet.

Let us never forget.

Join us on September 19th, 2020 at 9:00 am in front of the Post.

I’m turning off comments for articles. I have to deal with too much spam, and there are never any real comments. I will turn them on in the future if requested. In the mean time, the “Contact Us” Pages is a great way to bring something to our attention. If you would like to contribute to an existing or publish one yourself, please let us know.

Did this site pique your interest about The American Legion?

Take the next step and make muster at one of our monthly meetings. They are on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7pm. We'd sure like to hear a NEW sea/war story or two. Here's a link to some of the benefits of membership...

Call For Content!!

Do you have a little Lois Lane or Jimmy Olsen in you, or a little bit of both? If you have articles, pictures, or ideas on what should or could be on YOUR website, please use the "Contact Us" page to, well, contact us about it!
By the way, we are looking for a few good veterans!
