Welcome to American Legion GI Joe Post 244

 The first park in the state of Kentucky to be dedicated solely to Veterans.  

We conduct the largest known Ceremony for the Disposal of Unserviceable Flags in the United States. We welcome communication from any organization conducting a larger program.
These formal proceedings are conducted in accordance with Legion regulations that were approved thru Resolution #440, in 1937. 

The post canteen was renamed 'Roppel's Canteen' in 2020 to honor our WWII US Navy Veteran Mr. Virgil Roppel. American Legion members and their guests are welcome to stop by for comradeship, have a drink and partake of our games & social activities.

 The American Legion providees assistance to Veterans in many ways.  The American Legion is a staunch advocate and facilitator of veterans benefits, always ensuring that veterans can properly use and access the benefits they earned with their service.  Each Department has a Department Service Officer to help you understand what V.A. benefits you may qualify for and help you to file your claim. The American Legion also helps with temporary financial assistance for Veterans and disaster assistance.  The American Legion can assist you with obtaining your DD-214 as well.  

 Since 1952, Robley Rex VAMC has been improving the health of the men and women who have so proudly served our nation. We consider it our privilege to serve your health care needs in any way we can. Services are available to more than 150,000 veterans living in a 35-county area of the Kentuckiana area. Learn more about the history of the Robley Rex VAMC. 

America's largest veterans service organization works every day to uphold time honored values.
