Welcome to American Legion Post 111 of Conway
Our Post Home is still closed but our legionnaires are still at work. This week we put flags out around our fine city and now we, from all of American Legion Post 111, would like to wish all of you a Happy 4th of July. Two performances that you might like to view are listed below. Click on their links to view the videos.

Because of the COVID-19 Virus and guidelines published by the government, your Executive Committee has suspended All Post 111 activities until at least the end of June 2020. This includes Bingo, ALL meetings, and the Canteen. We will re-evaluate and publish additional information at that time. Please see the Commander’s letter below.

What is Americanism
One of American Legion Post 111’s primary goals is to teach Americanism to the young Americans in the Conway SC area. As such we promote youth programs such as American Legion baseball, Palmetto Boys State, an annual Oratorical Competition, and the Nathan Wolf Law Cadet Academy.
Americanism is the essential combination of Freedom, Justice, Individual Rights, and Responsibilities that define us and what we stand for. Americanism is also Pride in Country, expressed without reservation, and the duty Legionnaires have in imparting patriotic values to new generations.
