Our Heritage

A Legacy of Service & Honor

In the mid-1940s, African American soldiers from Manassas returned home from World War II seeking fellowship with veterans who shared the common experience of war and service to nation.

Due to Jim Crow laws and segregation, these brave Virginian soldiers were not permitted to join veteran organizations with whites. In 1945, sixteen African American veterans petitioned the National Headquarters of the American Legion for a charter — and Post 114 was born.

Named in honor of comrade Paul W. Mitchell Jr. in 2002, the Post continues to carry the torch raised by its charter members.

Serving Our Community

Dedicated to Veterans & the Manassas Community

Post 114's membership today is comprised of men and women who took part in wars from World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan. The Post is represented by all five military services — the Army, Navy, Marines, U.S. Coast Guard, and Air Force.
