Veteran of the Month Ceremony
Bantam American Legion Post #44
Saturday, July 1, 2017
All Wars Memorial, Bantam
 Post 44 of the American Legion in Bantam continued to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of United States' entry into World War I by honoring the life of United States Army Private First-Class Frederick Flaherty, long time resident of Bantam as the July Veteran of the Month at a July 1 ceremony at the All Wars Memorial in Bantam.

 In 1930, Flaherty moved to Highland Avenue in Bantam and began work at the Warren McArthur Corporation. In 1946 after the war ended, and when most veterans had returned, he scheduled a Bantam veterans meeting and rallied them to re-charter and re-open the Bantam local American Legion Post.
 Post 44 had been organized and chartered in 1920 using the name of local WWI Veteran Robert P Jefferies, but had, due to lack of participation closed in January of 1928. The post WWII American Legion would stand up and insure that Congress supported the millions of returning veterans. Click here for more details.
Food Pantry Open
