NEWS


Typewriter with a piece of paper and the word "news"

The November 2026 issue of Sauls-Bridges Post 13 News is now available online, and this month’s edition arrives at one of the most meaningful times of the year for the American Legion family.


As always, you can enjoy the newsletter your way:



This month’s issue is filled with Post news, history, upcoming events, and opportunities to connect with fellow veterans and the community.


The cover story, “The Term ‘President,’” looks back at the early days of the United States and how the new nation settled on the title used for its chief executive. From Article II of the Constitution to George Washington and the debates of the First Congress, it is an interesting look at a familiar word with an American history all its own.


November also means Veterans Day, and Commander Dennis Hall highlights one of Post 13’s most important annual traditions: the Veterans Day Breakfast on Wednesday, November 11. Post 13 and Leon County Government will once again work together to serve breakfast to more than 400 people, followed by participation in the Veterans Day parade. Members interested in helping decorate or ride on the Post float are encouraged to get involved.


There is plenty more inside.


The November newsletter looks back at Post 13’s recognition of the young men who participated in Florida Boys State, an American Legion program that gives students hands-on experience with representative government and civic leadership.


Readers can also learn about efforts to establish an American Legion Riders Chapter 13 at Sauls-Bridges Post 13. The next planning meeting is scheduled for Saturday, November 21 at 9:30 a.m., and interested members of the American Legion Family are invited to learn more and help build the chapter.


The issue also includes an update on the 2027 cost-of-living adjustment, news from the Auxiliary, Post activities, live music and community events, and a full November calendar.


And the month does not end with Veterans Day. Post 13 will also host a community Thanksgiving lunch on November 26, followed by holiday decorating at the Post on November 29 as we begin looking ahead to December.


There is a lot happening at Sauls-Bridges Post 13 this November.


So settle in with the newsletter—or take the audio overview with you while you drive, walk, or go about your day.


Read it. Hear it. Stay connected.

Either way, there is plenty happening at Post 13 this month.


The October issue opens with a look back at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the 1944 campaign that followed General Douglas MacArthur’s return to the Philippines.


Commander Dennis Hall also checks in with his October message. While October may provide a little breathing room between a busy September and November, preparations are already underway for the Veterans Day Breakfast on November 11 and the Post Holiday Party on December 20.


One of this month’s standout features asks a great question: “Have You Ever Time Traveled?” Carl Smith takes readers back to Post 13’s July 4 celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.


The October newsletter also highlights the four Tallahassee-area students selected by American Legion Auxiliary Unit 13 for Florida Girls State, including their experiences with government, leadership, and public service.


And if you are wondering what is happening around the Post, the answer is: a lot. October programming includes live music, dance lessons and social dancing, veterans legal services, Games Night, Halloween activities, and a special appearance by comedian Killer Beaz on October 15.


So pour yourself a cup of coffee, settle in with the October issue—or put on the audio overview while you are driving, walking, or getting things done.


Read it. Hear it. Stay connected.
