In addition to the history content in this section of the Post 1 website, we also have content on The American Legion Centennial Celebration. Our site has media, a timeline and other content.

*********************Historian’s Appeal for Help!!*********************************************
Post 1 is missing most of the photos, correspondence, documents and artifacts from the years 1919-1947; and much of the same type of material from 1948 to the present. Folks, this stuff is located in your bookcases, bottom drawers, closets, attics, and storage buildings. We really want to review it so we can tell the full story of Post 1. We are interested in anything you have, including old banquet or event programs, letters from or to the Post, and of course, photographs having anything to do with Post 1. In particular, if you or one of your ancestors was an officer of Post 1, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Sons of the American Legion, Legion Riders or 40 and 8, then we want photographs and other material about your ancestor to help us tell his or her story.
AT THIS TIME WE ARE ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN PHOTOS OR OTHER MEMORABILIA FROM THE DRUM CORPS THAT WAS STARTED IN 1920. PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOS, UNIFORMS, DRUMS, BUGLES OR DOCUMENTS, CALL OR EMAIL US.
Won’t you help us? If you have this material, then consider donating it to the post. If you want to keep it, then give us the opportunity to copy or photograph it at our expense. We will promptly return it in the same or better condition. Either way, you will ensure that future generations will know the story of Post 1. Please email historian@tulsapost1.org if you can help us.
