"Welcome to the American Legion Post 642 (Stevens Creek) website. Stevens Creek Post 642 in Cupertino has been a post for 60 years in the city of Cupertino, serving the Cupertino and nearby communities of West San Jose, Saratoga, Sunnyvale and the western part of Unincorporated Santa Clara County. As a Veterans service organization our principal goal is taking care of Veterans., their families, the youth and the overall community. We currently have 70 members and are actively recruiting to expand our membership, so that we can continue to support Veterans and the community like we have for the past 60 years.

Post 642 sponsors the Annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery each December. Additionally the Post is involved in the Cupertino Veterans Day Ceremony, the Memorial Day Ceremony and other Veteran related events. Out Post supports the hospitalized Veterans at the Palo Alto VA with BBQ’s during the summer months for the shut in patients. Provide supplies and other items that the hospitalized patients need, conduct hospital visits and financial assistance to the Fisher House and the Defenders Lodge.

We have a close relationship with the Veterans Students of America Chapter at De Anza College, providing the Veteran students with financial support such as supplies and scholarships. We are involved in our community schools participating in the Monta Vista High School Breakfast with Veterans project and with Miller Middle School Veterans Day Ceremony and in classroom discussions. Additionally we provide scholarships to High School Seniors for their first year of college or trade schools." (visit link)
