American Legion Building in Mountainair Set for Decommission & Demolition

For the past 81 years the American Legion Post 40 has been an essential part of the lives of the people of Mountainair, NM. Many of our citizens have grown up attending meetings, voting, ballet classes, bingo and numerous other events. 

The people of Mountainair wish to thank the Veterans and their families for their service to our town and country and thereby making Mountainair a better place to live.

Since the building is scheduled for demolition in June it seems only fitting to celebrate and honor the Members and their families now with a small ceremony.

We have erected a temporary flagpole. We will have a small meeting to decommission the building. We will lower the flag and play taps. We have confirmed that Mr. Eugene Schmitz, a Bataan Death March survivor, and former commander of Post 40 will be our honored guest as well as many other veterans. Mountainair has been the home to Five members of the Batten March.

We invite you and any veterans to attend our ceremony. For Further information Please contact Lorance A. Romero 505 705 0047
