You Will Join Us
WHY JOIN Coleman A. Young Post 202 and THE AMERICAN LEGION?
Because of the bond that All who have served share
We knew as a Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Airman, Coast Guardsman, your buddy had your back.
You joined other brave Americans in serving any place
in the world, in all types of conditions and in any situation, because it was for love of country and dedication to the principles that we live by.
You were willing to pay the ultimate price for your country, to leave your loved ones behind, to fight in lands you probably couldn’t pronounce because you were a member of the World’s greatest fighting force, “The Armed Forces of the United States of America”.
You followed the orders of the Commander In Chief, whether Democrat or Republican

That bond still exists in our Post and The
American Legion
We work hard in our Post to maintain that sense of camaraderie and trust we all experienced in serving our country. You will find that our Post members still have your back covered. We support each other, we respect each other and even though we have taken our uniforms off, we still continue to serve, the city (Detroit) which we love, our communities we live in, our State and our Nation through the programs of The American Legion.

Our Post members are proud of the fact that despite the fact that we are one of the newest posts in the State of Michigan (founded in November 1999), we have been the largest American Legion Post in the city of Detroit for 5 consecutive years. We need you now to join us in attaining our goal of being the largest American Legion Post in the state of Michigan..jpg "PM_L.C._5-15-10_PM_(19).jpg")
We are veterans just like you. We care about America, our fellow veterans, our families and our children. Our members participate in many community activities such as parades, memorials, dedications, etc.
We sponsor local students to participate in Legion Programs, we present ROTC Medals and School Awards to Detroit High School ROTC cadets, we visit Detroit schools to talk to students about Americanism, the importance of Veterans to this country and the merits of being good citizens. Our Post supports an American Legion Baseball Team “The Detroit Stars”, we could use your help.
Our members join with The American Legion in being advocates for veterans’ rights and benefits at the local, county, state and national level. We recognize that there is power in numbers and you as a veteran can help increase that power by joining our Post and The Legion.
