Since then we have grown to 395 members through the hard work and dedication of their committed members. American Legion Post 58 was christened "Wall~Rives Post 58" on May 26, 1947 in honor of Winchester Wall and Hugh Rives, two brave soldiers and residents of the area, who lost their lives during WWII, in the Bataan Death March.
