American Legion Post 53
The American Legion is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth, sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
American Legion Post 53 of Hemet, CA has a long history in the local community.
