The band is even better than the one below - off Vietnam
on Christmas Day, 1972. This tin can was off the gun line for a day to 
refuel and rearm for a day of cease-fire. The band played hard rock
and modified Christmas music for the crew of the oiler.
We PROMISE the music is better at the LEGION !

Memorial Bricks

At the Legion Hall in Jay there is a Veteran's Memorial. In the past few years it has been remodeled and prepared  (often with the help of Johnny Baggett) with space for memorial Bricks.
   Here is the link to a PDF 
This is a printable form that you can use to select your brick lettering and place an order. The bricks are $25 each and raise funds for this Legion Post.
purchase a brick with the name of your family member or friend on it.  Often, people will write in a simple description --   "JOHN DOE -ARMY - Vietnam"--- or "JANE SMITH  - NAVY 1963-66". Sometimes people will add a rank or other information. This memorial will be a lasting tribute to the veterans of our region.

Memorial Day Program


Post 121 of the American Legion and The Jay Historical Society will present a MEMORIAL DAY service at Jay United Methodist Church on Monday May 25 at 6pm. Everyone is invited This will be a thoughtful and respectful way to close out your Memorial Day Weekend.  The Church is located in Jay on Highway 89, just South of Downtown. Please gather family and join us for a memorable service of music, readings and a message.

The Edeker- Dubose Post of the American Legion is in the process of re-organizing to benefit local veterans and the community.  Past members are encouraged to contact any of the people in this photo and discover how the organization hopes to move forward.

Look for more news about the American Legion Post from the Historical Society and from THIS web page in the future. Bookmark the page for updates, or check off the "FOLLOW" link for notice by email when a new post appears.

Here is a special history of the Edeker-Dubose American Legion Post. The post has a long history of service to veterans and the community.  Robert Edeker died in World War I and Jefferson Dubose died in World War II. They are remembered in the name adopted by Post 121.


The Edeker-Dubose Post leadership wants the community to know the post will not operate as a bar from this point forward. The past reputation as a beer hall is being laid to rest.  The Post WILL be hosting social events and encouraging  community activities at the hall.
