About Us

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. A community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments -- one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.

The Quantico/Buck Keyes American Legion Post was formed in 1925 and chartered in 1926. The Post derives it's name from Charles R. 'Buck' Keyes, a WWI Veteran. A history of the Post and information about Buck Keyes can be found on the History page.

Post 28 is situated on six acres, just a short drive West from Interstate Route 95. Take the exit for the Quantico National Cemetery and continue on past the Cemetery for 2.5 miles. You will see our sign on the Right Hand side of the road.

The Post has a large field suitable for volleyball and other yard games, a playground for the children and two tournament-grade horse-shoe pits. There are a number of barbecue pits and picnic tables available for outdoor parties.
