About American Legion
American Legion Post 833 in Smithtown, New York is a veterans service organization chartered by Congress in 1919, with local roots tracing back to January 23, 1920, when 22 charter members established the James Ely Miller Post. The organization serves as a hub for military veterans, active-duty service members, and their families through comprehensive support programs including VA benefits assistance, emergency financial aid for housing and utilities, and volunteer services at local medical centers. Beyond veteran care, Post 833 actively engages the broader Smithtown community through annual Veterans Day and Memorial Day observances, sponsorship of youth programs like high school oratorical contests and essay competitions, and the establishment of the Veterans Plaza with its Walk of Honor. The hall itself is available for rental on weekends, accommodating community gatherings while the Post continues its core mission of providing mutual support and advancing patriotic values.
