Forming of Post 233:
On November 11, 1946, a group of nine organizers from Atlanta, Georgia, headed by Lloyd Bettis, met with a group of people interested in organizing an American Legion Post at Loganville, Georgia. After several inspiring talks from the Atlanta facilitators, a charter was applied for and the following men became Charter Members of Post 233:

Buddy Bill Todd from Post 1, Atlanta, Georgia, gave a talk that sent every one away anxious to go to work. He also passed on a challenge and a goal to strive for that stuck in the mind of each member. “I expect to see this post become the biggest little post in Georgia.” So, it was on November 11, 1946, in the Loganville High School Gymnasium that Post 233, Department of Georgia, the American Legion, was officially organized.
