George L. Giles Post #87 American Legion
Honoring Veterans' Legacy
The George L. Giles Post #87 was established in Chicago in 1919 as a place for Black veterans to become members of the American Legion. The post was named in memory of Lieutenant Giles, pictured in the photo, who was killed by shrapnel in WWI in 1918. The post carries on his and other veterans' legacy of service and patriotism. As part of the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization, the American Legion, the post advocates for veterans' rights and community engagement.
