Clinton American Legion Post 66

Letters were submitted for a permanent charter to the American Legion to be called Howard Hilliard Post #66. Howard Hilliard was the first Clinton native to perish in World War I and the membership picked this person who lost his life in the "war to end all wars". The American Legion's preamble states. "To enhance the Nation, State and Town". Clinton was a small town, they did not exceed 2500 town

speople, however, they made up for it in every way by being involved. The Legion continues to be in the forefront in regards to veteran's needs. The Post Home has been a place of haven for the veterans as they return and we hope it continues into the future. As those of us leave to their final rest, just like those in WWI and WWII and all to the present, there will be new veterans to take up the role of guardians to insure our hope and continuity in the future of our American Legion Home. Many people have been instrumental in building our Legion and it is impossible to give credit to everyone involved since its formation. We hope that new members will take up the cause to insure that this 90-year old organization will continue its good work.
