The photos and other information below was gathered from the information available at Post 1 in scrapbooks and other files.  WE NEED MORE OF THIS INFORMATION.  The 40 and 8 was also known as the “playground of the American Legion” because the 40 and 8 has fun and games by the members as one of its principal aims.  The organization is also serious, and supports nursing education as one of its primary charities.
