Welcome,
I want to personally thank you for taking the time to become a member or for renewing your American Legion membership.

The American Legion at Post 998 is comprised of the following organizations. The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion, The American Legion Riders and Post Color Guard. Together we form an unbeatable team.
We are first and foremost here for our Veteran members. There are many programs within the American Legion that support our members in various ways. Please visit our website at www.Post998.com or ask any officer or Legion member and they will be glad to assist you. Now that you have joined The Lawnton American Legion please take advantage of our facilities. Our newly remodeled Club is quite unique and you will find our Canteen to be one of the best around both in service and food quality.
We are in need of members to participate in our post Color Guard. The Color Guard is one of our most visible entities and is always in the Public’s eye. Participation in parades, funerals and other events in military fashion make the Color Guard one of the hallmarks of the American Legion in its finest tradition. If you have a desire to participate in our Color Guard please contact Gerald Thompson at 717-780-6456
We are a nonprofit organization that supports many community projects, and do so by maintaining a strong membership base. We solicit input from our membership by encouraging them to attend meetings in support of their club.
