American Legion, Post 173

Welcome to American Legion Post 173!

Our Mission:  To enhance the well-being of America's veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.  

The American Legion is built on a promise from men and women who swore with their lives to defend and protect the United States through military service. The promise begins at enlistment, grows through training and discipline in the U.S. Armed Forces and continues after discharge, as veterans in service to community, state and nation. 

Our Programs: From Veteran support to Community involvement, the Carlton American Legion Post 173 offers a variety of programs to support Yamhill/Carlton area. Learn more about our initiatives and how we make a positive impact.

Among American Legion members, there is no rank or prejudice, only purpose. A veteran is a veteran. And the purpose of veterans in The American Legion is to strengthen the United States of America through programs, services, compassion and actions that have proven vital, timeless and life-changing for over a century.
