Veterans

The City of Clay is proud to support local veterans, active military, and their families through local partnerships, community events, and our Hometown Heroes banner program.

Hometown Heroes Banner Program

For Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans' Day, the City of Clay lines its streets with banners honoring the men and women who have served our country — both the veterans who came before and the active military members serving today. Each banner bears the name, branch, and service dates of an honoree, offering our community a lasting, visible way to say thank you.

Service and sacrifice deserve more than a single day of recognition. Through this program, Clay residents can sponsor a banner for a loved one, neighbor, or fellow community member, ensuring their story is seen and remembered by everyone who passes by.

SSG Michael W Hosey

American Legion Post 205

American Legion Post 205 is named in honor of SSG Michael W. Hosey, a CCHS graduate, who tragically lost his life in September of 2011 while serving his country in Afghanistan.


Our mission is focused on helping veterans and our community through projects and services the post offers. Veterans come from all over Central Alabama to speak with our Post Service Officers (PSO) to better understand their Benefits and get guidance on what next steps they can take.

Serving the Veterans, their Families, and the Community

Our post is supported with Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the Legion, and Legion Rider groups. These groups work together to serve those in need in our community: they recognize our Veterans and First Responders, our youth in surrounding schools, and our civic leaders with scholarships and awards given out annually.
