What is the Forty & Eight

La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux is an independent fraternal organization of U. S. veterans, more commonly known as the Forty & Eight.

The Forty & Eight was formed in 1920 by American Legionnaires as an honor society, and it is committed to charitable aims.  Membership is by invitation for members of the American Legion who have shown exemplary service.  All Forty & Eight members are veterans of congressionally recognized wartime periods via their Legion membership.

Welcome from the Chef De Gare

It was a honor and privilege to serve my country in active duty for 23 years and now my service continues as Chef de Gare. It is with great pride that I hold this position. Being able to help with the different programs that the 40/8 support, gives one a satisfying feeling of serving again. One person cannot do this alone, therefore I am asking each of you to join with me and help make this a banner year for Voiture 1067 and American Legion Post 166 in all of our Programs. Remember the famous words:

UNITED WE STAND/DIVIDED WE FALL

Yours Truly,

William L Simpson

Chef de Gare

Join Our Forum

Most people do not realize the benefit of having a free Forum. An Online Forum provides the opportunity for anyone to discuss opinions, ideas, and spread the word about you organization's activities and events. The Forum is open to any Voiture, not just Voiture 1067 in Goose Creek. I have recently posted in the Forum a brief instruction with pictures pointing out how the Forum can be used. There are also several sections that allow other Voitures, other Veteran Groups, and American Legions to post anything they want to further their causes. I encourage anyone to post an opinion or start a discussion involving Veteran Concern's or announcements in the Forum. If you have any questions on how to use it, or any ideas, please drop me a line, or better yet, post it in the Forum. You can find the Forum by clicking the Forum Link that is on every page on this web site.
