American Legion Post 1799 - Haymarket, VA Post 1799 serves the Haymarket and Gainesville community and its Veterans. Our Post holds regular meetings at the Hay Market Masonic Lodge.

ABOUT US
Established in Haymarket, Virginia, on 17 September 2005, American Legion Post 1799 is located in the 16th District of the American Legion, Department of Virginia. America's military veterans in the greater Haymarket area have joined together to support our community and demonstrate veterans still serve the Nation. We invite American men and women military veterans to contact us regarding membership. The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans. We also meet Thursday mornings at 9:30 AM at IHOP in Gainesville for breakfast. All meetings are open to the membership. The Post's operations are guided by the annual Post Calendar. We provide a wide selection of community support activities and we remain open to expanding our activities to meet membership expectations. Our Haymarket Post was numbered "1799" to commemorate the year the town of Haymarket was charted.

Today at our IHOP Breakfast we were honored to welcome Kristin Black, who spoke with us about the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention and their upcoming community walk on 12 September 2026 at Virginia Gateway in Gainesville, near the Regal Cinema area.
The event will include special recognition of veterans, and the organizers have asked Post 1799 to provide a speaker to represent our veteran community.
Knowing this Post, I am fairly certain we can find one or two people who are not shy about grabbing a microphone.
More importantly, this is an outstanding opportunity for us to support a mission that should matter deeply to every veteran:
BE THE ONE.
Be the one to ask.
Be the one to listen.
Be the one to reach out.
Be the one who reminds another veteran that they are not alone.
That is a mission worth showing up for.

What a turnout this morning!
Another Thursday morning mission is officially in the books, and once again Post 1799 showed up in force at IHOP — nearly 50 strong! Not bad for a bunch of veterans who supposedly retired from early morning formations.
On this 27th day of August 2026, nearly 50 veterans descended upon IHOP for coffee, breakfast, conversation, sea stories, war stories, tall tales, and the occasional completely accurate military recollection that has only improved slightly with age.
The bond and camaraderie we have among veterans from every branch of service is difficult to put into words.
Army.
Navy.
Marine Corps.
Air Force.
Coast Guard.
And someday, perhaps, even a wandering member of the Space Force will find our little corner of IHOP and join the formation.
We will save them a seat.
