Douglas Boldt, American Legion National Vice Commander (1 of 5 Vice Commanders) and Denise Milton, Minnesota American Legion Department Commander, were in attendance during the Adrian American Legion Argonne Post #32 regular meeting. Both commanders are touring Minnesota meeting with Posts to discuss memberships of the American Legion. The Argonne Post is at 117% for membership and the Sons of American Legion are 100%. The Auxiliary is believed to be close to 100% as well. The commanders were very impressed by the numbers of our local post.
