                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 12, 2021

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 100th 
anniversary of American Legion Post 92 for their century of service to 
veterans, their families, and our communities. Through their tireless 
work, exceptional leadership, and steadfast selflessness, Post 92 has 
become an indispensable part of the Upper Peninsula and the State of 
Michigan.
  Post 92 was created in 1919 in Victoria, Michigan, following the 
national charter of the American Legion by Congress. The post was 
formed to establish a local organization to bring fellow Yooper 
Veterans together within the U.P. Two years later, the Legion moved to 
Rockland, Michigan, where they have been headquartered ever since with 
the mission of defending the U.S. Constitution and honoring our men and 
women in uniform, amongst many other goals. Over the last century, the 
American Legion has grown to two million members with over thirteen 
thousand posts nationwide. Post 92's work has significantly improved 
the lives of countless Veterans and their families, and their 
dedication cannot be overstated.
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize American Legion Post 92 for 
a century of service to the veterans and communities of the Upper 
Peninsula. Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the First 
District is home to such devoted organizations and citizens. On behalf 
of my constituents, I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
