Norfolk Post 335 is the local American Legion outlet of the largest wartime veterans’ organization in the nation. The American Legion was established in March of 1919 in Paris, France by veterans from WWI. The national organization has more than two million members. The local post is 79 years old and has existed to serve veterans from every recent conflict: WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf Wars.

Current Post Commander, MS Lori Scholl, who began her tenure in June of this year, is the first female commander of Post 335.

“Much is done to honor the memory of those fallen heroes of our military, and that is as it should be,” said Commander Scholl in a statement. “But we should also remember those who put on their uniform, served the country and returned to build and operate our communities. The lessons those veterans learned in service, they put into practice in their daily lives, serving their families, their communities and making our nation stronger for their efforts.”
