On Memorial Day in the City of Lake Worth join our local members of The American Legion at Pinecrest Cemetery.

Briefly, some history. The American Legion Vogel-Lee Post #47 was chartered on October 16th, 1919. The first commander was a man named John Prince. The Post name “Vogel-Lee” is in honor of Mr. Vogel, “the first from the area KIA [Killed In Action] in WWI and Mr. Lee was the first from the area KIA in WWII.”
