80 Years of Service
Founded in 1946 by veterans returning from World War II, Post 560 was built on a simple promise: to look after one another and give back to the community that welcomed them home. Over the decades, our post has grown into one of most active American Legion chapters in Texas: hosting hundreds of community events, awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships, and advocating tirelessly for veterans' rights and benefits.
