About American Legion Post 1776
Installation of Legion Post 1776
Leadership Team - 2025-2026
The June Membership Meeting included the installation of the
Post Officers. Jack Metzger represented the Department of
Minnesota and the Third District, swearing in the men and women
who were elected by our General Membership last month. As
officers of the Post these individuals have the responsibility
to carry on the fine tradition of those who established and grew
American Legion Apple Valley Post 1776. Congratulations to all
of our Post Officers!
