SAN ANTONIO – (March 15, 2025) – For 106 years, The American Legion has stood as a pillar of strength, service and unwavering dedication to the nation's veterans.

To recognize the occasion, members of Fred Brock American Legion Post 828 attended a cake-cutting ceremony hosted by the post, located on the city’s East Side.

The brief ceremony was administered by Post Commander Burrell Parmer, who delivered the anniversary speech followed by the cutting of a cake.
