OUR HISTORY
The American Legion Audie L. Murphy Post No. 336 was originally located on the southeast side of San Antonio and was known as Stonewall Jackson Post. Membership had declined to only 12 Paid-Up-For-Life (PUFL) members when the Department Commander asked Walter Geraghty—five-time Commander of Post No. 2—to revitalize it.
He accepted the challenge and relocated the Post to Leon Valley. Through his exceptional leadership and recruiting skills, he grew membership from 12 to 66 members by the first meeting held at Leon Valley City Hall in December 2008.
Now proudly centered in the shadow of the Audie L. Murphy Veterans Hospital, the Post was renamed in honor of the most decorated war hero in U.S. history—Audie L. Murphy.
ABOUT US
Our Post is defined by its members and the programs we support.
We meet monthly at the Leon Valley Elementary School cafeteria during the school year, and three times a year—June, August, and December—at Golden Corral Restaurant.
The Post also maintains a building fund and is actively seeking a permanent location in the Leon Valley area.
COLOR GUARD
Our award-winning Color Guard honors veterans by presenting colors at funerals and offering our comrades a dignified “Final Salute” during the transition to “Post Everlasting.”
The Color Guard has earned recognition at both the department and national levels. Locally, they have presented colors for the San Antonio Spurs, San Antonio Missions, events at the Fisher House, senior living facilities, parades, schools, and numerous community events.
OUR ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY
Post 336 proudly supports four local high schools through Boys State, Junior ROTC and Oratorical competitions, as well as Cub Scout Pack 485.
