Post 302 Officers - 2025

The strength of any American Legion post lies in the dedication and leadership of its officers. These individuals are more than just titleholders — they are veterans and community leaders who embody the core values of service, patriotism, and commitment. Each officer, from the Post Commander to the Chaplain, plays a vital role in guiding the post’s mission, supporting fellow veterans, organizing programs, and preserving the rich traditions of the Legion. Their tireless efforts often happen behind the scenes, but their impact is visible in every successful event, every veteran helped, and every flag proudly raised. Today, we recognize and honor these officers for their unwavering devotion to duty and their continued service to both country and community.
