On March 16, 2026, members of the American Legion Tardiff-Belanger Post #39, in Madison, gathered to commemorate the Legion’s birthday. The celebration featured a special cake and presentation, held just before the Installation of Officers for the 2026-2027 term. President Robin Turek, representing American Legion Auxiliary Unit #39, presented Commander Karl Price with both a donation for the building fund and a certificate, highlighting the ongoing commitment to supporting the organization and its facilities.

March 15 marked the American Legion’s 107th birthday, honoring its founding in 1919. This annual event serves as a reminder of the Legion’s longstanding tradition of service and dedication to veterans and their communities.
