Our American Legion

Following World War I, the American Legion was born in Paris, France, during March of 1919.  The primary purpose of the Legion, then and now, was to advocate for veterans.  In May, 1919, the organization relocated to St. Louis, Missouri and has grown into the world’s largest veteran organization.

 Post 10 is named for Manassas native son Robert “Bobby” Vincent McMaugh. Robert was a member of the Marine Security Guard (MSG) at the United States Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon on April 18, 1983. He was manning Post 1 when the embassy was attacked by terrorists driving an explosive-loaded van. He lost his life along with 16 other Americans and dozens of Lebanese citizens to the resulting explosion.

A display honoring Bobby is in the Post trophy case which is located in the main entrance of Post 10. 

Post 10 was formerly chartered by National on 12 JUN 1986.  For the early years Post 10 met in the chartered members homes, then in a store located in Manassas Park, then rented space on Center Street [near Virginia Arms], and finally when we were financially able obtain a mortgage at our present Post home, 9950 Cockrell Rd., Manassas, VA.
