American Legion Post 108
American Legion Post 108
Our History 1937-1994
Around 1936, a handful of World War I veterans began meeting in a vacant house and at vacant stores as they prepared to form a family-oriented American Legion Post in the small rural community of Lutz, a few miles north of Tampa on U.S. 41. A charter was granted on May 3, 1937, to Lutz Post 108, by The American Legion Department of Florida.
