SAME MISSION...NEW GENERATION
Here at American Legion Post 17, we blend tradition with a fresh approach. We are more than a gathering place, we are a hub where today's veterans connect, give back, and create lifelong friendships. Your service mattered then. It matters now.
NOVEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Every month at American Legion Post 17, Talladega, we will highlight one of our cherished veterans. This month, our honor goes to the oldest living member of the American Legion in the state of Alabama...and we are grateful to claim him as one of our Post 17 family.
Stay tuned each month as we spotlight these honorable men women for whom our organization exists. We appreciate their sacrifice and commitment to our nation and our post.

Buster has his own plaque on the bar at Post 17 to commemorate his long history as Alabama's oldest living legion member, and to honor his dedication and commitment to not only to the Edward R. Wren Post in Talladega, but to the community as a whole. It is our great privilege to honor Buster Braswell this month.
