Stetser-Lamartine Post 281

Originally chartered by Congress in 1919, The American Legion is a veterans and community service organization of nearly 3 million members in more than 14,000 posts worldwide. Stetser-Lamartine Post 281 is proud to have been a veterans' service organization in Gloucester Township, NJ, since 1939.

Members of Post 281, along with members of our affiliated American Legion Auxiliary Unit 281 and our Sons of the American Legion Squadron 281, work together throughout the year to provide a wide range of services to our community, and to area veterans, service personnel and their families.

Fundraising efforts by Post 281, Squadron 281 and Unit 281 allow us to provide a wide range of gifts and services to organizations throughout the area each year, as well as support for veterans and area residents on active military duty. In addition, Post 281 sponsors citizenship, sports and Americanism programs for youth and provides substantial scholarship assistance for high school seniors.

As you explore our site, you will see that, on both a personal and post level, Post 281 members continue to serve our veterans and our local community in many ways.

New members — both veterans and active service personnel — are invited to join Post 281 at any time. If you are on active duty or a veteran of any of the US armed services, and served during a World War, the Korean or Vietnam Wars, or conflicts in Grenada, Lebanon, Panama or the Persian Gulf, you are eligible for membership in The American Legion; a PDF copy of the membership application is available online.

Stetser-Lamartine Post 281 is located at the intersection of Lower Landing Rd. and Chews Landing Rd., in the Chews Landing section of Gloucester Twp. You will find a warm welcome waiting for you!
