Legion Post #272 — Blountstown, FL. Service and a meeting hall — Blountstown.
- Legion Post #272
- Blountstown, FL
In 1923 a handful of veterans chartered Post 272 — Blountstown, FL. From that first meeting the post grew into a hall that still marks the year with a memorial service, a community project, and a table full of people who know one another’s stories.
People point to the post for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Blountstown. The Legionnaires would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says the second Tuesday at 7:00 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the post writes its own — Blountstown, FL.

Notes from the first meeting
American Legion Post 272 Steve G Mears JR. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the post already knows. The Legionnaires voted to keep the spring scholarship on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Blountstown, FL. - Apr 9, 2026
Showing up for the spring scholarship — Blountstown
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 272 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — Blountstown. - Aug 21, 2026
What the notebook says so far
Late summer the post looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is the second Tuesday at 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — Blountstown, FL.
