Sussex Amvets Post 2, 32592 Long Neck Rd, Millsboro, DE 19966, US

HistoryThe American Legion is the nation's largest wartime veterans' service organization in the United States and was chartered by Congress in 1919. Post 82 was brought into existence the same year and has been a part of Millville ever since. Nabb-Leslie Post 82 (originally named Malvern J. Nabb Post 82) was located at 17 E. Main Street in Millville up until 1948. The building that currently serves as the home for Post 82 (located at 220 Buck Street) was originally a glass factory warehouse that was purchased from the City of Millville in 1947, renovated, and dedicated as the Post Home in 1948. As a non-partisan, non-profit organization, all revenue generated beyond that of basic operating expenses trickles back into the community in one way or another. In addition to serving and advocating for veterans, Post 82 also embodies the organizational ethos of devotion to mutual helpfulness and has maintained a high degree of community involvement over the years.SpecialtiesHall Rentals: The post has an upstairs hall which accommodates up to 200 people which rents for $1,000, and a downstairs hall which accommodates up to 80 people and rents for $500.
