Legion Post #316 — Little Rock, IA. A post since 1964 — Little Rock, IA.
- Legion Post #316
- Little Rock, IA
In 1964 a handful of veterans chartered Post 316 — Little Rock, IA. 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.
The work is ordinary and steady. A flag detail at a funeral. A winter drive that fills a corner of the hall with gifts. A scholarship evening where the Legionnaires hand an envelope to a student and then go back to the coffee. None of it is loud. All of it is the point of the charter.
The meeting line says the first Thursday 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 — Little Rock, IA.

Notes from the first meeting
American Legion Post 316 Buss-Johnson. 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 Memorial Day wreath on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Little Rock, IA.

Showing up for the Memorial Day wreath — Little Rock
By spring the hall had the Memorial Day wreath underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 316 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 — Little Rock.

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 first Thursday at 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the post might tell that year — Little Rock, IA.
