8/28/2025 - Post Receives State Award

We were asked to attend the annual Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs Commanders' Conference this year.  No explanation why.  Commander Lauderdale could not make it, so Adjutant.SO Howard Whitehead attended in his stead.

 

Just before the lunch break they had an awards presentation and we were listed among the individuals and other organizations to be recognized!

 

The inscription reads:

Kentucky Department

of Veterans Affairs

Ambassador Award

 

is presented to

 

American Legion Post #67

 

In recognition of your

distinguished contributions

and community service in support

of our Commonwealth's

veterans and their families

 

2025

 

This award was for our donations to KDVA programs last year totalling about $20,000. 

 

It is a huge honor for us to be recognized by the State and it could not have been done without the cooperation and assitance of our members and the participation in our charitable gaming activities by our members and guests.  Thank you all!

7/19/2025 - Service Officer Accreditation

 

Our Post and Intern Veteran Service Officer, Howard Whitehead, is now fully accredited by the VA!  This means he can now not only help with claims, but can also submit paperwork to the VA directly for the Vets he serves.

 

To get here he as had to jumo through a lot of hoops over the past couple of years including quite a bit of training and working claims under the watchful eyes of accredited and very experienced mentors.  

 

But it doesn't end here.  There will be more ongoing training and cnosultation with other VSO's as we strive to build a large, hghly trained, responsive, and very effective Service Officer corps for the Department of Kentucky!

 

Howard would like to thank all of the VSO's who have been training and assisting him to get here and the unwavering support of the Post 67 leadership!
