Randolph Granger joined Post 21 forty years ago to help a friend work Kenosha’s 4th of July fireworks display which was performed by Post 21 at the time.  He remembers those days fondly.  He had been at the post previously, “as a kid” when the Post hosted teen dances.

Randy Granger with his latest donation

At our August member meeting Randy presented the post with the pictured artwork which is a signed pen and ink drawing of the USS Arizona (BB-39) Underway.  The work was created on the 40th Anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. In the past, he also donated other items, such as another framed picture of the Arizona Memorial, a picture of a funeral caisson, and a Legion Police Badge.   The Grangers have a long legacy in the Legion as Randy’s

father used to write articles for The American Legion Magazine.Randy and his wife Lori, a US Army veteran herself, are currently downsizing and thought that Post 21 was the right place for it. Randy assured us he will come down from time to time to visit us and have a look at a favorite old picture. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Granger!

American Legion Post 21 has partnered with Kenosha funeral homes to provide “One Last Honor” for deceased Veterans and retired American flags in our community.

The “One Last Honor” program was designed to patriotically retire American flags surrendered to the Legion by Kenosha residents, while honoring Veterans and flags with one last patriotic act. Families of deceased Veterans may choose to bury a retired flag with the Veteran or include one in the cremation.

We are so grateful for our partners that provide Veterans one last honor and retire flags with dignity.

  • Proko Funeral Home
  • Piasecki Funeral Home and Cremation Services
  • Bruch Funeral Home
  • Kenosha Funeral Services

We never forget the sacrifice of our Veterans, and the meaning of the flag. Our freedom is the result of the sacrifice of Veterans, and we are grateful.

Flags may be placed in the American Legion drop box located at 504 58th Street, Kenosha.
