Key Post Honors Past Commanders at Legion Night

Fourteen of the 29 living past commanders of Francis Scott Key Post American Legion attended Past Commanders' Night at the Legion home. Immediate Past Commander J. Robert Edwards led the event and awarded the Roger R. Rice Sr. memorial medal to Commander James E. Doub for leadership in the current membership drive, which reached 916 members. Remarks were made by many former commanders, honoring deceased leaders in a moment of silent prayer for seven past commanders. The Key Post, organized in 1919, has since met at multiple sites before purchasing its current building on East Church Street in 1929.
