Welcome to American Legion Tipton County Post 67.
We have been serving veterans in Tipton County
Tennessee since 1920.
We meet on the third Tuesday each month at 7:00PM at the
Boy Scout Hut/Legion Post in Adkinson Park, Atoka TN.
A few of the things our Post is involved in.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Vet Center, and our Post have partnered to bring to military combat veterans Vet Center services on a more local basis.
Our Avenue of Flags program helps the Post in giving out scholarships to veteran's children graduating from one of the three counties High Schools. The Avenue of flags is a program where individuals or business's pay $30.00 a year for your Post to put up flags on selected holidays, this money is used to run the scholarship program.
During our VA Volunteers visits, we distribute refreshments to all hospitalized veterans, their visiting families and veterans seeking medical attention through outpatient services. This is done on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. In December we participate in the Christmas Parade at the VA Medical Center were we hand out presents to the inpatients.
The Post will send 15 High School students this year to Boy's State. American Legion Boys State is not a school-room activity, but a practical experience for young men in the actual problems of government. Tennessee's American Legion Boys State is held on the beautiful Tennessee Tech University campus in Cookeville.
Memorial day our members gather to honor the memory of our fallen veterans. They take flags out to the different cemeteries in the county and place a flag on each veteran's grave.
This is the sixth year for The American Legion Tipton County Post 67's High School Oratorical Contest. This contest is to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution of the United States on the part of high school students. This years winner was Ethan Stewart. He went on to win the District contest, Regional contest and placed third at the State Contest.
