History: American Legion & Post 363
The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veteran’s organization. The Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Over the years, the Legion has built its identity by achieving hundreds of benefits and services for veterans, supporting the U.S. Armed Forces and instilling the values of responsible citizenship among young people. Veterans of the American Legion have worked for over a century to improve and strengthen the nation they swore with their lives to defend.
Post 363: Our Post is named after North Carolina’s own James S. Rogers (1875-1954), a U.S. Army private who served honorably with the 2nd North Carolina Infantry Company M in the Spanish-American War. The Spanish-American War was a brief conflict in 1898 between the United States and Spain that ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas. This victory established the United States as a dominant international empire. Rogers is memorialized in the VA’s Veterans Legacy Memorial.

Location: The Post was organized in 1943 (post-WWII era). Membership records show growth by the mid-1950s as recorded in North Carolina newspaper archives and American Legion reports.
The Post purchased a lot and built a building for the veterans to meet at 127 W. Barbee St. Zebulon, North Carolina
