Legion Post #78 — Big Piney, WY. Service and a meeting hall — Big Piney.
- Legion Post #78
- Big Piney, WY
In 1961 a handful of veterans chartered Post 78 — Big Piney, WY. 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 — Big Piney. The Legionnaires would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
Meetings are the first Thursday at 7:00 PM, at the hall — Big Piney. This page is a sample so neighbors can see the shape of the work. The group itself has not claimed the page, so the stories here are an illustration, written in the voice the post might use.

American Legion Post 78 Dee Fox. 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 — Big Piney, WY.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Big Piney
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 78 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 — Big Piney.

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 — Big Piney, WY.
