Legion Post #69 — Southwest Hbr, ME. American Legion Post 69, meeting — Southwest Hbr, ME.
- Legion Post #69
- Southwest Hbr, ME
In 1928 a handful of veterans chartered Post 69 — Southwest Hbr, ME. 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.
People point to the post for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Southwest Hbr. 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 first Thursday at 7:00 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 — Southwest Hbr, ME.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Southwest Hbr
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 69 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 — Southwest Hbr.

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 first Thursday at 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — Southwest Hbr, ME.
