Who We Are

American Legion Post 171 is home to veterans who have served honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States. We continue that service by supporting veterans and their families, mentoring youth, and strengthening the Damascus community through service programs, leadership, and Americanism.

We are a place of fellowship, service, and remembrance — honoring those who served while supporting those who continue to serve today.
