American Legion Post 129 celebrated its 49th birthday in March 1968 with a program, dinner, and dance at the Memorial Home. Over one hundred people attended the affair. As part of the festivities, a special table was set aside to honor three of Chattooga's World War I veterans. (World War I ended fifty years earlier in 1918.)
Seated in front, from left to right are World War I veterans John Owens, Joe Cantrell, and Jim Tedder. Standing are (left) Post Commander Robert Greene and unidentified.
