Why You Should Belong To
AMERICAN LEGION POST 268

Join Wheaton Post 268 and gain a second home.  Post 268 offers you a place to relax and enjoy refreshments, to have casual conversations or eat a light meal.   You can toss darts, shoot pool, or (on Sunday evenings) play bingo.  You can bring your spouse or a friend to our Friday night dinner and dance.  If you don't dance, you can come out and enjoy a fine dinner and live music.

When you or your family have a special occasion to celebrate, such as a wedding, reunion, or party, the Post's spacious accommodations are available.

There will be days when you will have the privilege of joining with your fellow Legionnaires in honoring members of our Armed Services who gave everything so our country can continue to be a land of opportunity.
