Founding Date:  1946, received its permanent charter on May 3, 1947 

Number of Members: 

• 260 Legion veteran members

• 210 members of the Ladies Auxiliary

• 170 members of the Sons of The American Legion

Annual Dues: $


Background:  Young veterans from World War II with names like Rusilowski, Lewakowski, Stalec, and Potapowicz wanted to establish a American Legion post to reflect the strong Polish-American heritage of the Northeast side of Grand Rapids. After several meetings at Diamond Avenue Hall in 1947, the fledgling Post was officially chartered, elected officers, and found a home at 700 Michigan Street N.E.  The Post membership grew quickly and moved across the street to 658 Michigan Street N.E. In 1953, the Post added the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary, and in 1963 they chartered a group named the Sons of The American Legion.


Today's Northeastern Post is surely different than the group of spirited young veterans of 1946, but our roots will forever be a part of our sense of pride and obligation. Our members come from a variety of ethnic, social, and political backgrounds. All three of our organizations are both non-sectarian and non-political. Simply put, we believe our diversity is our strength.
