The American Legion Post 474 has been in Half Moon Bay since April 20th 1934. On that date a charter was signed and the post came into existence. The Sons of the American Legion charter was signed in 1987. All of the above continue their service to America by still serving their communities, by raising funds for local charities and to give support to our veterans nationally, and at our local Veterans Hospital in Menlo Park.

The American Legion, Woman’s Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion, all participate in the Fourth of July Parade, dressing in the uniform that depicts their branch of service they proudly lead the parade down the Main Street.

Veterans Day, and Memorial Day is a day we all work together to pay homage to those missing in action, and those who died for our country. Veterans from our local Menlo Park Veterans Hospital are invited to participate in services, a barbeque is held, it is a time of remembrance, this gives us the opportunity to reflect on those who fought so gallantly for God and our Country.
