Legion Post #739 — Pleasant Vly, NY. American Legion Post 739, meeting — Pleasant Vly, NY.
- Legion Post #739
- Pleasant Vly, NY
In 1951 a handful of veterans chartered Post 739 — Pleasant Vly, NY. 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.
Over the years the post has taken on the jobs a town actually asks for: rides to a clinic, a meal after a funeral, help with a ramp, a speaker for a school program. The Legionnaires keep a notebook of what got done and what is still open, and they read it aloud before the meeting adjourns.
Meetings are the first Thursday at 7:00 PM, at the hall — Pleasant Vly. This page is a sample so neighbors can see the shape of the work. The group itself has not claimed the page, so the stories here are an illustration, written in the voice the post might use.

Showing up for the spring scholarship — Pleasant Vly
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Post 739 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 — Pleasant Vly.

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 — Pleasant Vly, NY.
