On September 3, the American Legion Post 712 in Pleasant Hills will honor their own WWII and Korean War era veterans at a dinner in the Post home at 4 p.m.

The American Legion has many activities where they serve and honor veterans in the surrounding communities, but this is the very first time Post 712 is creating a special day to honor their own veterans.

Specific war era dates are not only part of the criteria for eligibility to join the American Legion, but it is also very important to make sure we are including all of our veterans who served during these time periods in supportive roles, many who may have served outside of Pacific, Asian, or European theaters.

The dates of eligibility to join the American Legion for these wars are:

  • WWII Era Dates: December 7, 1941 to December 31, 1946
  • Merchant Marine Dates: December 7, 1941 to August 15, 1945
  • Korean War Era Dates: June 25, 1950 to January 31, 1955

There will be several speakers that evening: Former LCDR – JAG Officer – U.S. Navy and current PA Senator Guy Reschenthaler; USAF Ret. and current PA State Rep. Rick Saccone; State Rep. William C. Kortz; Pleasant Hills Mayor Robert Bootay; and Post 712 Commander Richard J. Wojnar. If you are or know of a WWII or Korean War era veteran who would like to attend this dinner with his or her family and who is not currently a member, we are currently accepting new members.

Post 712 is located at 650 Old Clairton Road in Pleasant Hills.
