Welcome to the American Legion Post 196 webpage. Our mission is to honor and serve veterans, both near and far, with unwavering dedication. We never forget our duty to support our veterans and the broader community. Through our patriotic holiday events, community service initiatives, and related activities, we proudly uphold our values. Our legion family, including the Sons of the American Legion, the Auxiliary, the Boy Scouts, and the Marine Corps League, provides invaluable support. We have always stood tall and will continue to do so as American Legion Post 196 of Delafield.
