In 1947 veterans of our surrounding community came together to form an American Legion Post, joining the largest of Veterans organizations.
To those present at the meeting was given the task of picking a name for the post.  They decided to name the Post after the first casualty of World War I, and the first casualty of World War II, as veterans from both wars would be represented in the Post.  Frank Durkee was a casualty of World War I, a resident of Cambridge Township.  Donald Seager was the first casualty of World War II, a resident of Rome Township.
