American Legion Post 388 Chelberg & Battle
Legion Post #388 — Sag Harbor, NY. American Legion Post 388, meeting — Sag Harbor, NY.
- Legion Post #388
- Sag Harbor, NY
In 1947 a handful of veterans chartered Post 388 — Sag Harbor, NY. From that first meeting the post grew into a hall that still marks the year with a memorial service, a community project, and a table full of people who know one another’s stories.
The work is ordinary and steady. A flag detail at a funeral. A winter drive that fills a corner of the hall with gifts. A scholarship evening where the Legionnaires hand an envelope to a student and then go back to the coffee. None of it is loud. All of it is the point of the charter.
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 — Sag Harbor, NY.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Sag Harbor
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 388 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 — Sag Harbor.

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 — Sag Harbor, NY.
