Legion Post #30 — New Rockford, ND. American Legion Post 30, meeting — New Rockford, ND.
- Legion Post #30
- New Rockford, ND
American Legion Post 30 Raymond B Thorn. Its post has met since 1945 — New Rockford, ND. The charter came in the years after the World Wars, 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 — New Rockford. The Legionnaires would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is the third Wednesday at 6:30 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the Legionnaires stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — New Rockford, ND.

Showing up for the spring scholarship — New Rockford
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 30 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 — New Rockford.

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 — New Rockford, ND.
