Welcome to American Legion Post 440 in Newtown, PA. We are a progressive post, actively involved in our community and committed to Veterans from ALL conflicts & their family. Since we've been around for 100 years, we have collected a huge quantity of resources.

We are over 220 members strong, and of course, we are always seeking new members. If you are a Veteran who wants to hang out or chat with your brothers and sisters who were there - or even if you are just interested, please contact us – ask a question or better yet – come down to one of our meetings - ALL Veterans are welcome.
 
We also have a few positions open within the Post as well.

We’re at 41 Linden Ave. in Newtown, PA.

“We are still serving our country”

NOTICE

Members are invited to bring their spouse to the December meeting. It’s more social than business. All we ask it that you call Jean at 215-946-1520 and let her know you will be attending. Please call before December 12th. If you do not call and get on the list you will not be allowed to attend. A good night to bring your spouse.

The December meetings have always been a good night. We can use a few volunteers to help set up the hall prior to the meeting. Thank you. December 21st around noon. Dinner will start at 6PM.

St. Andrew Church in Newtown (81 Swamp Road) will be having a Veteran's Mass on Sunday 14 November 2021 at 9 AM. All area veterans are welcome to attend. Post 440 members attending are requested to wear their blue and grey Legion attire. We will meet by the front door of the church at 8:45.

Larry Kerwood will have his color guard leading the Parade again this year. Thanks to the volunteers from the rifle squad who stepped up. Another reason why we need more members of the squad, especially members with some young legs. Come out to the Parade and give a shout out to our guys.

Parade is December 5th from 2P to 4P starting on State Street in Newtown.
