American Legion Post 72, Aberdeen, NC received our permanent charter from the National Headquarters on February 6, 1947. During World War II, our Post Home was used as a USO facility as troops would stop in at the train depot in Aberdeen.

We have refurbished our Post Home, added Chapter 72 of the American Legion Riders on August 14, 2007, re-chartered Auxiliary Unit 72, and chartered the Sons of the American Legion (SAL) Squadron 72 on March 9, 2009. Together we are proud to be a family of wartime veterans, spouses, parents, and their children actively advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service-members and veterans.
