Welcome!
Veterans interested in joining the American Legion or Post 184 are welcome to attend our monthly meeting to find more information. We meet at 7:30pm on the 3rd Wednesday every month on the second floor (door on the right) of the Moose Lodge located at 779 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170
We start the meeting with an opening ceremony consisting of saluting the flags, the pledge of allegiance, a prayer, reciting the preamble of the American Legion Constitution and the placement of aPOW-MIA chair. Introductions occur if we have new visitors. We discuss upcoming events and post business, then we close with retiring the POW-MIA chair and saluting the flags.
What We Do
What We Do
Monthly Meetings: We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the Month to gather as veterans for comradeship and organize ways to meet our mission. We welcome all veterans to our meetings, so feel free to visit us!
Avenue of Flags: Every Veteran's Day and Memorial Day we raise over 60 casket flags in honor of fallen Herndon Veterans. Due to COVID, we will use smaller flags to represent our fallen veterans and not our normal full size flags.
Memorial Day Poppy Fundraising for Veterans Support: Every Memorial Day we hand out the long-time symbol of fallen soldiers, the Poppy Flower, and raise funds for veterans.
Herndon-Reston Junior ROTC Program Support: In coordination with the Navy Junior ROTC Program at Herndon High School and South Lakes High School Army JROTC, we honor excellence through American Legion Awards.
Support Local Scouts: We are proud to be the Chartering Organization for our local Scout Troop 1570. We support them in their activities and Eagle Projects.
Retiring American Flags with Honor: Do you have a used American Flag that needs to be retired? Bring it by the Herndon Moose Lodge and put it in the drop box located out front. We collect used flags and perform a Flag Retirement Ceremony several times a year.
