Currently, Post 2 meets at the American Red Cross Building in Knoxville as we await the start of the construction of our future post building. This is a huge step for Post 2 and will allow us to fulfill our mission and continue to give back to our veterans and the Knoxville community.
The Mission of the American Legion is to to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the Great Wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
We are always striving to find new ways to impact the community in a positive manner and you can learn more by visiting our event calendar here or visiting our social media pages.
