LEGION COMMANDER’S WELCOME

Welcome to the constantly improving Ronald Reagan Palisades Post 283 as we emerge from the Pandemic with new programs and a new face! We are remodeling the Post clubhouse, but that’s just the beginning. We have interesting speakers, more family events, and member enriching opportunities! By no means have we forgotten where we came from, but we asked the Post membership what they wanted in a survey, and these programs are what came out of the responses. We still maintain our grant giving position in the community, but the process has been minimized in our meetings leaving us with more time for camaraderie and our Legion Family.

I welcome you to the camaraderie we share. Since the forming of Post 283 in 1928, we have been a driving force in the Pacific Palisades, enhancing the lives of our veterans and providing leadership to our community. In fact, one of our own members, and our chosen namesake, went on to become the 40th President of the United States.

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 and it evolved into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States with over one million members. We are fortunate with the opportunities and resources that Post 283 provides us, and members of this Post are out there doing great things. They are serving the needy, reintegrating those returning, mentoring our community’s leaders, and spreading the ideals for which we once fought, all while honoring those who did not come home with us. I hope you will join us in these noble endeavors.

Ronald Reagan-Palisades Post 283 is a place where veterans can come together, bring their families, and enjoy the special things we have in common with our fellow veterans. It is my vision to raise the profile of our Post with our members, our community, and the American Legion National. The American Legion Family of Legionnaires, Sons and Auxiliary is a growing force in Southern California. We also hope that you will find the support with us to continue to serve your community, your family, and this great nation.
