Legion Post #149 — Las Vegas, NV. American Legion Post 149, meeting — Las Vegas, NV.
- Legion Post #149
- Las Vegas, NV
American Legion Post 149 Paradise. Its post has met since 1952 — Las Vegas, NV. The charter came in the years after the Second World War and Korea, and the Legionnaires who stayed treated the monthly meeting as a standing promise: show up, look after one another, and leave the town a little better.
People point to the post for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Las Vegas. The Legionnaires would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says the third Wednesday at 6:30 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the post writes its own — Las Vegas, NV.

Notes from the first meeting
American Legion Post 149 Paradise. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the post already knows. The Legionnaires voted to keep the Memorial Day wreath on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Las Vegas, NV.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Las Vegas
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 149 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Las Vegas.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the post looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is the third Wednesday at 6:30 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — Las Vegas, NV.
