Historical Note
The Griswold Post No. 15, American Legion held its organizational meeting in August 1919 and received its charter from the National Headquarters on September 6, 1919. At a special meeting held on March 15, 1920, the name of the post was changed to Orville LaFlamme Post No. 15 to honor LaFlamme who was killed in France in July 1919 during the fighting at Chateau Thierry. In October 1945 it was voted to again change the Post’s name to the LaFlamme-Kusek Post No. 15 in honor of Stanley Michael Kusek, the first man from Griswold to be killed in World War II.
