Post 43 has been helping veterans in and around Camp Hill since 1919
Welcome to the American Legion Post 43 in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Our roots go back to our first meeting in May 28, 1919 that took place at the Camp Hill Fire House. Ever since, we’ve been serving veterans and our community. Our membership rolls include local leaders, business owners, politicians, philanthropists and others who all have one mission: To enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
Today we are well known for the annual Camp Hill Memorial Day Service and Parade, which we’ve been involved in since the first meeting. The Memorial Day Service is one of the best known across the Commonwealth, and it isn’t because of the Legion, it’s because of the support of the community, gathered to honor the fallen who committed themselves in service to our country.
Some of the programs that make us who we are include youth programs like supporting scholarships, Scouting, essay and oratorical competitions and awarding deserving High School seniors. Other programs we take part in are supporting veterans through financial hardships, visiting veterans in retirement and rehabilitation facilities, fighting for veterans rights and housing for homeless veterans.
