“Visited this American Legion for their Memorial Day service & I quite enjoyed the effort that this Legion put into the event. I really appreciated the wreath ceremony for the son that was lost in Afghanistan - condolences to his father who spoke. Everyone was welcoming & they had a free spaghetti lunch after the service. It was also fairly well attended for a small community & I suspect that the Legion placed most (if not all) the flags up around town for Memorial Day. Clearly the Vets care. The Legion was quite a large facility with a dance floor, a bar, a kitchen, and a band area. They also had various picture displays showing men and women who served in more recent wars from Seaside & a metal plaque of the men who served in WW1 from Seaside.This is more a curiosity than anything else - I wonder why there weren't Iraq/Afghanistan Vets present... most of the Vets that were displaying what war they were a part of were from Vietnam (early vs. later years). Therefore, a bulk of the crowd looked to be in their 70's-80's. Not clear why younger folks don't go there.”
