The American Legion is dedicated to continued service to our men and women of the Armed Forces. Your purchase of a brick will help us to continue this vital work.

Please participate in recognizing those who have served (or who are now serving) through the purchase of a brick with your veteran’s name laser-engraved on it. The bricks will be laid at our Veterans Memorial in Sterling, Virginia. By honoring/memorializing your veteran, you help us to raise funds to assist veterans in our community.

The price per brick is $50. Members of the American Legion receive a discounted price of $30 per brick. Only veterans may be honored/memorialized.

If requested, we will notify you when your veteran’s brick is laid at the Veterans Memorial, and we will send you a photo the brick in place at the Veterans Memorial.

Please download the order form for laser-engraved bricks, and send it and your payment to the address on the order form.

Please email your questions to: memorialbricks@alpost150.org

Thank You!

Sterling Park Honors Fallen On Memorial Day

Posted on May 30, 2011 by Kara Clark

For the 35th straight year, Sterling Park honored America's fallen soldiers Monday during the annual Memorial Day observance.

American Legion Post 150 hosted the event, held at the Sterling Veterans Memorial located at the corner of Holly Avenue and Sterling Boulevard.

Air Force Lt. Col Bradford N. Norris served as the keynote speaker for the ceremony, which attracted dozens of local residents and veterans who braved the high heat to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending America's freedom.

Norris said Memorial Day was an important day to "maintain perspective" as many regard the holiday as the "beginning or end of a three-day weekend" and not for the true reason Memorial Day was established. The day is not meant to honor those present for today's ceremony, but rather the more than 1 million Americans who have died in combat fighting America's wars since the country was established.

Landscaping at the Veterans Memorial

Re-planting at the Veterans Memorial

Christina from AJ Landscapes (a local business here in Sterling) spent today giving us the benefit of her landscaping expertise. Christina gave us some advice on low-maintenance and drought-resistant plantings, and she (and her daughters!) helped us move and re-plant some of the shrubs around the memorial.

Christina is also the proud Mom of a US airman serving in Alaska :-)

Christmas Dinner Pictures - 2009

Posted Fri, 12/11/2009 - 3:09am by admin

Once again, our joint dinner with VFW Post 9478 was a huge success. This year, Santa managed to slip in and out before the photographer go there, so there's no proof that he was actually at the dinner. But all the kids (and a few of the adults) were absolutely sure that the guy in the red suit was Santa, so...

Here's the pictures from the Christmas dinner.

33rd Sterling Veterans’ Memorial Day Ceremony

Memorial Day Monday, May 25 2009

Sterling Veterans' Memorial

Sterling, Virginia

American Legion Post 150 held its 33rd Veterans’ Day Memorial Ceremony at the Sterling Veterans’ Memorial site on Sterling Boulevard on a warm and slightly overcast Monday, May 25 at 11 AM. Approximately 150 Sterling residents were in attendance.

Keynote Address by Captain Jonathan Toland:

"I want to thank Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio, Commander Ann Kuo and the ladies and gentlemen of American Legion Post 150, the scouts from troop 956 and everyone for coming out today. I must admit that throughout my time in the National Guard, the meaning of my service isn’t something that crosses my mind every day. Being a soldier has become as much a part of who I am as the fact that I like chocolate ice cream or that I enjoy doing home improvement projects. Despite the increasing demands on my time and family and the difficulty balancing a civilian career and a “part-time” military career, I’ve been surrounded by great soldiers and had some pretty neat experiences.
