Throughout its history, Post 237 has been a leader in the growth and development of Huntsville and Madison County, as well as supporting our Nation’s military service veterans. Its membership rolls include celebrated military heroes from Madison County, distinguished city, county, state, and national government leaders, and respected leaders in civic and public service, as well as private business.
Since our charter, our American Legion Post has been welcoming VETERANS from all branches of our Armed Forces. Today, we continue to welcome all military personnel serving our country. Joining our Post enables you to continue serving your God, Country and Community. Our mission is to implement the goals, aspirations, dreams, peace and blessings for our country, friends and families embodied in our Preamble below.
For God and Country, we associate ourselves together for the following purposes:
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America;
To maintain law and order;
To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism;
To preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in all wars;
To inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation;
To combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses;
To make right the master of might;
To promote peace and good will on earth;
To safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy;
To consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
It's not the price you pay to belong, but the price you paid to be eligible to belong.
