A place of their own

American Legion Post 796 finds new home in Diamond

DIAMOND — A small but growing American Legion Post will soon have a space of their own in Diamond.

Once it obtains insurance, the Coal City American Legion Post 796 will begin to transform the former water reclamation plant building at 1752 Division Street to use as their post.

Glenn Gavril, the post's commander, said previously the group has been meeting in the Felix Township maintenance building on White Tie Road since the post re-opened in 2004.
