American Legion Post #3, under the command of Ben Olsen, III, celebrated the 95th anniversary of the National American Legion at a dinner at the 64th and College Avenue Post. This celebration also included the 95th anniversary of Post #3. The Broad Ripple Post was created just months after the National organization was founded. (As you have no doubt read on the page 7 Gazette explanation, my grandfather Girstle Hague was a charter member of Post #3)
Post Commander Ben Olsen, III, led the evening anniversary dinner.
The owners of the Steer-In on 10th Street prepared a delicious meal fitting for the major milestone celebration.
The Legion never looked better. The kitchen is remodeled and the new war memorabilia display cases are filling up. Happy 95th to the Post!
