... to the William E. Dillard American Legion Post 104 of Sylva, NC.  We salute the serve of all military veterans and their families within the local communities of Jackson and Swain Counties in Western North Carolina as best as our abilities will allow us to do so.  Post 104 is always in need of other dedicated veterans to assist us with the many endeavors in which we are involved and the units that we served under are a part of the United States Armed Forces. Therefore, your participation is greatly needed within this organization in whatever manner that God has gifted you to serve others. The Legion still needs a “Few Good Men,” so Aim High, and Be Strong in your Adventures from Coast to Coast.

     It is because of our joint unity, as veterans, that we serve to protect the freedoms of this nation, so that those who survived the rigors of serving in the Armed Forces might serve veterans in other ways. No Airman, Coast Guard, Marine, Sailor, or Soldier ever trained or served alone in the pursuit of serving this great nation and Post 104 is no different.  We need active veterans like you because you are gifted and skilled with valuable assets assist other veterans whom we attempt to serve on a regular basis.  If you are motivated to offer your gifts, talents, and skills to this local post, that we might assist other veterans, then, I encourage you to contact us at webmaster@sylvalegion.org. Furthermore, I would encourage any current member who is not actively involved with this post to attend one of our monthly meetings.

Thank you to our veterans and their families for their sacrifice towards America.

     May we always remember those veterans who gave so much of themselves for our nation. It is by their selfless sacrifices that the American flag still represents "freedom" to the rest of the world. Freedom is never free, because someone always has to pay that ultimate price to maintain and keep it, that other may enjoy its benefits.

God Bless America and may she always be free!

Welcome All Veterans...
