Stephen C. Ludlam Post 331

Since being chartered in 1946, Stephen C. Ludlam Post 331 of The American Legion has been welcoming veterans from all branches of our Armed Forces.

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.

The American Legion is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization with great political influence perpetuated by its grass-roots involvement in the legislation process from local districts to Capitol Hill. Legionnaires’ sense of obligation to community, state and nation drives an honest advocacy for veterans in Washington. The Legion stands behind the issues most important to the nation’s veterans community, backed by resolutions passed by volunteer leadership.

𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝟯𝟭 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲On Thursday, May 2nd American Legion Post 331 of Stone Harbor completed Phase 2 of its property upgrade under a grant from the Home Depot Foundation. Phase 1, also under a Home Depot Foundation grant, provided needed improvements to the legion building’s interior, which included ceiling, lighting, flooring, insulation, and interior painting upgrades. Phase 2, focused on an exterior upgrade, was devoted to the beautification and improved functionality of the Post’s property. This phase consisted of the installation of pavers around the building’s exterior. This included a paver platform where patriotic ceremonies can be conducted, a fire pit for burning unserviceable American Flags during the annual Flag Day ceremony, a walkway behind the building by the parking lot, a walkway from the side entrance to the Second Avenue sidewalk, and a walkway in front of the building’s lifesaving station murals. Additionally, a wall with planter was constructed behind the flag pole area in the side yard which will contain emblems of the six services whose veterans make up the American Legion. Paverstone, LLC of the Quikrete Concrete Company did a tremendous job in laying the pavers for this project. Post Commander Tom McCullough of Avalon coordinated the Home Depot Foundation grant process with three Home Depot managers and along with other post members facilitated the layout and site preparation for the installation of the pavers. The final portion of Phase 2, to be completed later this summer, will be the replacement of the building’s handicap ramp with more durable material by Skip Holtzapfel Builders, Inc. The materials also will be provided under the Home depot foundation grant. With these upgrades, Post 331, “The Jewel of Seven Mile Island”, will be both a historic and beautiful location at Stone Harbor, New Jersey’s southern end. Future plans include obtaining a grant from State Senator Michael Testa’s office for replacement of the building’s windows in order to meet historical specifications. ... See MoreSee Less
