Anchorage’s oldest American Legion post celebrates 90 years

Like communities across the nation, Anchorage embraces the Fourth of July with a bevy of traditions. One of the oldest for the city is the parade, which again this year will feature Anchorage’s American Legion Post Number One. Post One has not only participated in every single parade, it started the hallmark event.
