Active over the last 100+ years since World War I. The Legion is one of the most influential charitable and non-partisan groups in the United States, responsible for delivering substantial benefits for veterans and for our communities by providing many important programs for children and youth.
Our 150+ members come from all walks of life and military service experience.
Our members range in age from early twenties to nineties and reside mostly in Contra Costa County. Some loyal members are from surrounding counties and even out of State! We are united by our military service, patriotism and camaraderie for the common purpose of providing services to veterans, youth, and our community.
We are proud to be a part of a 2 million strong, 12,000 post worldwide organization responsible for driving the development of the modern VA, GI Bill, post-9/11 GI Bill, VHA Loans, and stellar youth programs.

Message from the Commander
I am honored to serve as the commander of our American Legion Post which celebrated 100 years of service to veterans and their families, active-duty military and their families, and our community in 2022. During that time, Post members have donated over one million hours of community service and nearly one million dollars to veteran and youth programs. Our ability to provide services and donations is made possible by our families, our fellow veterans service organizations, and the businesses and citizens in our community who provided generous support and inspiration to us in achieving our mission and goals.
We look forward to another 100 years of service by our Post to veterans and our community. If you are a veteran, please consider joining our Post as we continue our mission of service.
Mark Heinemann
Post 246 Commander
