How You Can Support Our Veterans – RyeVets.org
This site was created to honor the service of all our veterans.
Rye American Legion Post #128 was chartered on July 16, 1919 and was the first veterans organization in the City of Rye. It is among the oldest Post’s in the country and still going strong after 100 years. The American Legion is a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veteran’s service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.Please consider making a donation. The funds raised will be designated to help hospitalized and out patient veterans at regional Veterans Hospitals to assure that their needs and the needs of their families are met. Post 128’s Auxiliary annually contributes Christmas and holiday gifts to hospitalized veterans.Make A DonationPlease read more here for a complete list of Post 128 activities benefiting both community and veterans.JOIN RYE POST 128The Post is always ready to welcome new members.
