DAVIS-SEXTON POST 317
Marshall, North Carolina.
Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our community knows the meaning of resilience.
At American Legion Post 317, we support our veterans, serve our neighbors, and build community through fellowship and service.
Stronger, Together
After Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina and our town of Marshall, our Legion Post was left in ruins.
But just like our community, we refused to give up.
Legionnaires have been working tirelessly to rebuild—restoring not just a building, but a place of service, camaraderie, and resilience for veterans and neighbors alike.
