ST. CLAIR SHORES — The American Legion was founded in 1919 in Paris, France, as an association for U.S. military veterans. The post in St. Clair Shores was organized on January 14, 1944, by Mr. H. G. Springer. The Post received its charter on November 13, 1944.
In the tradition of the American Legion, Post #385 sponsored youth activities such as baseball and hockey teams, as well as high school oratory contests.
This photo from 1944 shows members of the post, including Arnold Moll, a World War I veteran who was a charter member of Post #385 (third from right), and William H. Mutart, who also served in World War I in the 15th Cavalry (second from right).
