When we wore the uniforms of our country, and for those that still do, we did not wear our uniforms to political events.  We did not endorse a candidate or party with our name, rank and branch of service.  The United States military was and is, apolitical.

The American Legion adopted this policy when it was founded.  The Legion cannot be effective if we appear as a political organization, we must be apolitical.  If you use social media to share your political views, please remove any Legion related apparel, etc., from your profile picture.

We served to protect the right to vote.  Volunteer for your candidate, consider becoming a poll worker, use social media express your views, be involved in the political process.  When this election is over, remember we are all Americans.  One Nation Indivisible.

VOTE, and encourage others to do the same.

For God and Country,
Larry Lewens, Past Commander, Post 21

Because of the pandemic, member meetings have been cancelled until January. That does not mean that we are not active. We are working on improvements to the kitchen to enhance our ability to earn funds necessary to fulfill our primary mission of helping Veterans, our community, and our country. As soon as the Executive Board approves the minutes I’ll be sending out a summary.

We have some plumbing work that needs to be done, and Jerry Jones is back as the Historian Committee Chairman. He has done a outstanding job of saving and organizing our Post history, and we have started a project to digitize articles and pictures. Anyone interested in helping out should contact us.

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.
Registration & Assembly: 9 AM
Silent March: 11 AM
Ceremony: 11:30 AM
