The William Weech American Legion Post 168 was chartered in 1946 and has served veterans and active military residents and visitors to Key West for more than 76 years. The Post broke ground for its home at 803 Emma Street in 1951, during the era of segregation, in partnership with the VFW Walter R. Mickens Post 6021. A historic marker for the post was presented in 2022.
Its members support a mission to enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, our military and our community by devotion to mutual helpfulness.
