For God and Country we associate ourselves together for the following purposes:

to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the great wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by our nation"..................

Named after the first Clovis, California, resident killed in action in World War I, Clovis Cecil Cox Post #147, The American Legion, Department of California, has been active in the Clovis/Fresno area since 1919. With over 600 members, Post #147 is deeply involved in youth and Veterans' programs throughout Clovis and Fresno including American Legion Baseball, Clovis Memorial District Activities, Americanism Programs, Boys' State Programs, Boy Scouts of America, Oratorical Contests, and Veterans' Memorial Services. Clovis Cecil Cox Post 147 is committed to community service and comradeship..

Our Primary Fund-Raising activities include Big Hat Days and ClovisFest Street Fairs when we open the Post Patio to the public and provide breakfast and lunch for a modest price. We also provide beer, sodas, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc., at the Clovis Rodeo. Post #147 is entirely self-sufficient and supports its activities by these fund raising programs (and others), personal and corporate donations, and the annual dues paid by the membership.
