Hello! I am Arno Vorwerk, your American Legion Post 800 Commander.

 

I enlisted in the navy in December 1972 as an E1 and retired in September 2010 as a commander serving as Program Director for Recruiting District of Philadelphia. Thats 05 to you :)

I have several degrees in several different subjects. I am also the grandson and great grandson of Italian immigrants and the son and grandson of German immigrants. 

 

However, the most rewarding is that of Commander of the Pennypack Post 800. 

 

It gives me an opportunity to serve veterans through The American Legion close to home. 

 

The American Legion was formed with four basic principles in mind.  We refer to them as “The Four Pillars” of The American Legion. 

 

The first, of course, is the rehabilitation of veterans.  The second is the education of the children. 

 

The third is to promote Americanism.  And the fourth is to support a strong National Defense.  Everything we do and all the programs we have support one of those pillars.  Look else ware on this page for links to all those programs. 

​

If you are a wartime veteran, I invite you to come and join us.  We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 in AMVETS post 273 at 955 Industrial Blvd South Hampton PA 18966. We do have a bar, and it is a smoke free environment.

​

For God and Country,

Commander Arno Vorerk
