Michael Horwath was recently installed as the new commander for the Stroud American Legion Post #257. Horwath takes over the leadership position from Commander Chuck Quinn.

Originally from Vassar, Michigan Horwath moved to Stroud from Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona. He is the Director of Quality and the Facilities Manager at both Mint Turbines, LLC and FAA Certified Part 145 Repair Station.

Horwath retired from the United States Army in which he served in a variety of positions. He concluded his 26 years in the military as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Company First Sergeant.

He and his wife Chong recently purchased the Lillian Parker home and are in the process of renovating it. They are the parents of five adult children.

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veteran’s organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization.

The Stroud Post has around 60 members on their roster. They meet the first Monday each month at the American Legion Building at 709 West 8th Street.

All members are encouraged to attend. Anyone interested in joining may attend as a guest and obtain membership information at the meeting.
