Our Story

Post 626 was first Chartered under Commander Bobby Watts and Adjutant Don Austin in June of 1975. We received a new Charter in October of 1987 and officially changed our name during a ceremony on the 19th of March 1988 from Post 626 to The Bennett & Dennis Herrick Memorial American Legion Post 626 under Commander Burt Nelson and Adjutant Roger Kohrs. Naming the Post after the Herrick boys was done in honor of all Vietnam veterans, many of whom were not getting the respect that they deserved, even from other Legion Posts.

We have served the veterans and citizens of Gladstone by providing an Honor Guard and or Color Guard at Memorial Day, the 4th of July celebration and many funerals. We have walked the Gladfest Parade and watched the Christmas Tree lighting. We have collected money on behalf of veterans and helped their family's in time of need. Missouri Boys State is something we are very involved with, sponsoring up to 8 boys one year.

We are proud to be a part of Gladstone.
