Our Mission
To enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
Our Vision
The American Legion: Veterans Strengthening America.
What We Do
The Post sponsors an American Legion Baseball Team, Boy Scout Troop 350 and Cub Scout Pack 350.
We provide meeting facilities for the Girl Scouts and several civic organizations and self-help groups.
We regularly hold fundraisers for organizations such as the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, American Cancer Society, and Breast Cancer Awareness to name a few.
We support the USMC Toys for Tots program.
We participate in many Town of Henrietta activities and provide support and assistance to the Monroe County American Legion on a regular basis.
We house a Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Office here at our home as well.
Our Principles
A VETERAN IS A VETERAN – which means The American Legion embraces all current and former members of the military and endeavors to help them transition into their communities.
SELFLESS SERVICE – which means The American Legion celebrates all who contribute to something larger than themselves and inspires others to serve and strengthen America.
AMERICAN VALUES AND PATRIOTISM – which means The American Legion advocates for upholding and defending the United States Constitution, equal justice and opportunity for everyone and discrimination against no one, youth education, responsible citizenship and honoring military service by observing and participating in memorial events.
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT – which means The American Legion meets the unique needs of local communities.
ADVANCING THE VISION – which means The American Legion educates, mentors and leads new generations of Americans.
HONOR THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US – which means The American Legion pays perpetual respect for all past military sacrifices to ensure they are never forgotten by new generations.
The American Legion’s motto is “Veterans Strengthening America.”
