In 1934, four men thought there should be a veterans organization in St. Clair Shores and, after several meetings, submitted their charter on Aug. 31, 1934. These men were Bill Randall, Joe Dendoven, Leo Delo and Charlie Pasters, the email states. The post was initially named “St. Clair Shores” but was renamed in 1935 after the first See MARKER on page 12A Photo by Erin Sanchez
