Legionnaires of Post 1026,
We
are presently looking at changing the quorum numbers to allow us to
have more meetings when less members show up. We are also looking for
more flexibility to change those quorum numbers when needed to better
suit the Post in the future. In addition to these changes we will seek
to add language in order to keep up with technology; specifically
notifications by e-mail and website. Other changes may also be proposed
so please stay active in the Post and if you have any questions please
let me know. Thank you.

American Legion
Post 1026 located in
scenic Woodstock, NY was formed on April 3, 1932. It is a
not-for-profit community-service organization whose members include
veteran members from all of America’s Armed Forces.
The
Woodstock American Legion exists for veterans and their families. We
honor and support all veterans who have served our country as we
continue to foster and perpetuate Americanism while encouraging
individual obligations to community, state, and government service. In
these ways, the members of American Legion Post 1026 are active in the
Woodstock community through various programs.
The
purpose of Woodstock American Legion Post 1026 can best be expressed by
these words "...to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and
for his widow, and his orphan". President Abraham
Lincoln—Second
Inaugural Address 1865
Our mission is to
support our Veterans, their
rights and our community.
Our call to duty did not end with our military service. Our strong
sense of pride, honor and love of country will keep
us focused. We
shall endeavor in our mission, never shall we fail and gallantly we
will
wear our colors.

"A reflection of the sacrifice"
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well
or ill, that we
shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any
friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of
liberty. -John F. Kennedy
