We would like to thank Daniel Goho American Legion Post No. 87 for ordering five of our 15″ high density urethane U.S. Military service branches plaques! The Daniel Goho post was on of the very first American Legion Halls in the United States. We are proud they chose us for their newest U.S. Military plaques. Here is a little history of their post.
Daniel Goho American Legion Post No. 87 is located in Dansville, New York. It stands as a cornerstone of community service and veteran advocacy in Livingston County. Chartered on September 12, 1919, the Post is named in honor of Daniel Goho, the first soldier from Dansville to be killed in action during World War I. Goho served with the 102nd Ammunition Train, 27th Division, and lost his life in France in 1918. His sacrifice remains the guiding inspiration for the Post’s mission of “Service First.”
For over a century, Post 87 has been an active participant in local life. It is well-known for its stewardship of the annual Memorial Day parade and Veterans Day ceremonies, ensuring that the service of local men and women is never forgotten. The Post also operates a vibrant social hall and lounge, which serves as a gathering place for veterans and their families.
