American Legion Post #75, Kamiah, Idaho

American Legion Post #75, Kamiah, Idaho The American Legion is a military veterans organization that provides service in the local community.

History of Kamiah Legion Post 75
The George Hayes Curtis American Legion Post 75 in Kamiah, Idaho, is one of the oldest American Legion posts in the state, chartered in 1919 shortly after the national organization was founded by World War I veterans and granted a congressional charter that same year. Named after George Hayes Curtis (a local veteran, though specific details on his service are limit

ed in available records), the post has focused on patriotic service, veteran support, and community involvement in the Kamiah area for over a century. In 2019, Post 75 celebrated its 100th anniversary alongside the national American Legion's centennial, hosting a community party with food at its hall on March 9 to mark the occasion. The current American Legion Hall at 618 Main Street was constructed in 1945, shortly after World War II, through volunteer labor and private donations as a tribute to the nation's heroes. It originally featured an indoor shooting range and has since served multiple community roles, including as a roller skating rink, teen dance hall, and venue for events like the annual Save the Pool Crab Feed fundraiser. The post remains active in veteran services and local traditions. It collaborates with nearby VFW Post 5407 for Memorial Day ceremonies (e.g., wreath-layings at cemeteries and bridges in Kamiah and Kooskia) and provides funeral honors, disability assistance, and accessibility improvements for veterans. In 2022, Post 75 made state history by installing Idaho's first Gold Star Families Memorial By-way plaque on its building to honor families of fallen service members. It has also hosted American Legion District 2 meetings and displays historical artifacts, such as a donated painting of Flanders Fields from World War I. Under commanders like Ron Funnemark (active in recent years), the post continues to emphasize daily support for veterans, community accessibility, and events at its hall. As a non-profit, it operates at 618 Main Street (phone: 208-935-0294) and maintains a page for updates.

The question was asked can a National Guard member become an American Legion Member. Yes, if the following is met.
"Yes, if you are currently serving or have served honorably in the National Guard and were activated under Title 10 orders during a qualifying period, you are eligible for membership in The American Legion.

To be eligible for membership in The American Legion, you must have served on federal active duty in the United States Armed Forces since December 7, 1941, and have been honorably discharged or are still serving.

The American Legion considers service in the National Guard/Reserve as eligible for membership if your unit was activated under Title 10 orders during a qualifying time period.
What is Title 10 service?
Title 10 service is when the National Guard or Reserve is activated by the federal government, meaning they are serving under federal, not state, orders.

Public Notice: American Legion Hall Rental Rate Adjustment
The American Legion Post 75 would like to inform community members and organizations of an adjustment to our hall rental rates.

Since 2008, the American Legion Hall has maintained the same rental price to keep the facility affordable for community events, meetings, and gatherings. Due to increased maintenance and operating costs over time, the rental rate will increase by $50 for the main floor of the building effective January 1, 2027. Rental rates for the kitchen and dining room are being evaluated. Should the rental rate for these two areas be increased, we will publish the entire rental rate list.

This modest adjustment for the main floor of the Legion Hall will help ensure that the American Legion can continue to properly maintain the hall as a welcoming and reliable venue for community activities, celebrations, meetings, and veteran-related events.

We appreciate the community's continued support and understanding after nearly two decades without a price change. The American Legion remains committed to providing an accessible gathering space for our community.

For rental information, availability, or reservations, please contact the American Legion Hall management team.

Thank you for supporting your local American Legion and the veterans it serves.
