Scarsdale American Legion Post 52 Celebrates 95th Anniversary

Saturday, Scarsdale American Legion Post 52 celebrated the 95th Anniversary of its founding at Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester on Saturday June 13, 2015. Joining members of the Post, their families and their friends at the banquet were two former Scarsdale mayors: Miriam Levitt Flisser, Beverly Sved, current Mayor Jon Mark and Scarsdale Village Manager Stephen Pappalardo. Mayor Jon Mark delivered a proclamation to Post Commander Tom Adamo declaring June 13, 2015 as "Scarsdale American Legion Post 52 Day." Additional proclamations were delivered on behalf of County Executive Rob Astorino and the Town of Eastchester.

Celebrants reflected on the significant contributions made by the Post to the Scarsdale community over the course of the last 95 years, the importance of Post 52's Memorial Garden, its current projects and on the service of its members in the defense and security of the United States in two World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam.
