Mission
The Cathay Post# 384 is proud to make the organization available for the community use. It allows the youth and seniors to use its community hall for free. It also implements many programs that aim to teach the community about earthquake and fire safety.
The Cathay Post, which is comprised of 30% youth members, highly motivates the youth to carry on its mission and legacy.
The Cathay Post #384 of the American Legion is committed to paying tribute to the Chinese American veterans who have defended our nation from the American Civil War to present with character, determination and valor. Their dedication, duty, and honor to our country will be memorialized by our post activities.
The contributions of our Chinese America military personnel will also serve to educate the nation and world about the horrors of war as evidenced by the collections and art exhibits which will be displayed through relevant educational programs.
Promotion of patriotism and the focusing of Chinese American community concerns is a part of our standard programs in order to reach all areas of our communities and to encourage volunteerism. The Cathay Post #384 is also committed to serving the community by sponsoring events and organizations. These groups are:
