June 2026 Meeting Announcement
Our next regular meeting will be held Monday, June 1, 2026, at the Post property pavilion on Rutledge Pike for a cookout and fellowship gathering.
The meal will be free for all attendees. The menu will be hamburgers, hotdogs and other items decided later in the month, and as always, donations are greatly appreciated to help support Post activities and ongoing building efforts.
We hope this meeting gives members a chance to reconnect, spend time together, and see the progress being made at the future home of American Legion Post 2.
At our May meeting, Post elections were scheduled to take place. Unfortunately, we did not have enough members present to establish a quorum. Out of more than 515 members on our roster, only ten people attended the meeting, including Executive Committee members and one new member.
Yes, the meeting date had to be moved because of the Medal of Honor Dinner. Yes, it was election week. Yes, we did not serve a full meal. Life happens, schedules conflict, and we understand that.
But the reality is this: the strength of any American Legion Post depends on participation, not just membership numbers.
Post 2 continues to show up for veterans and for Knoxville. We organize Memorial Day ceremonies, place flags at veterans cemeteries, support Boys State, work community events, support the Veterans Day Parade, assist fellow veterans, and continue working toward building a permanent home for this Post. A small group of dedicated volunteers keeps those efforts moving forward month after month.
If we want Post 2 to remain strong for the next generation of veterans, we need more members involved — not just on paper, but in person.
You do not have to volunteer every week. You do not have to hold an office. But attending meetings, voting in elections, and staying engaged matters.
We encourage every member to come out on June 1st, enjoy a meal, see the property, and help shape the future of Knoxville’s American Legion Post 2.
For God and Country.
