Following World War I, Sgt. Stubby became an official member of Eddy-Glover American Legion Post 6 in Connecticut, making him the only known canine ever admitted into The American Legion.
He marched in the organization’s first National Convention in 1919 and remained a familiar presence at Legion events for years, becoming a lasting symbol of comradeship, service, and the enduring bond shared by those who served.
The American Legion and Stubby 250 are bringing a Special Edition of the award winning animated feature film Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero to theaters and communities across the country as part of America’s 250th anniversary.
More than a century after serving alongside American troops in World War I, Stubby’s story is once again inspiring a new generation.
Together, we’re inviting American Legion Posts to help bring his story to audiences across America.
Whether you’re planning a major community celebration or a gathering at your local Post, there are many ways to help bring Stubby’s legacy to your area.
Partner with a local theater to bring Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero to the big screen. A theatrical event can help your Post attract new audiences, build community partnerships, support fundraising efforts, and create a memorable America 250 celebration.
