In the iconic Vietnam movie, The Deer Hunter, the wedding reception scene takes place in an American Legion Hall. It seemed only natural to use the American Legion as the backdrop for a social gathering, keeping in line with the history of many American Legion halls across the United States.
The American Legion Dinter Post #3 in Cuero has been a place for both veterans and the community to gather since the inception of the American Legion as an organization for veterans. From dances to football game events, the local venue has served as a gathering place for the Cuero and surrounding communities.
The American Legion was created in France in March of 1919. It was not long before many towns across the United States began creating local posts. Cuero was no exception and became home to the first American Legion post in Texas. It is designated as #3 because it was the third one to receive a charter.
