MISSION
The role of the M35A2 Deuce for the American Legion Post 116 is to enhance the lives of Veterans, both past and present, by rekindling memories for the older Veterans or introducing a bygone era of history to the younger Veterans. Affectionately referred to as a “Deuce n’ a Half,” the truck accomplishes this by participating in various events within the community such as parades, memorials, static displays, poker runs, car shows and periodic deliveries of water to the USO.
The goal of the ubiquitous Deuce is to promote a community effort to the Veterans and their families saying that even though you’re no longer in the military, there are those who need the outreach that a service organization, like the American Legion, can provide.
