At its annual June officer elections, Terry Meyering, the post’s only finance officer since it was chartered in 2014, decided to not seek re-election. Jeff Magargle was elected the new Post 178 Finance Officer.
Terry was first elected in 2014 when the post was chartered and has been its only finance officer for the past ten years. During his tenure as a key member of the Post Executive Committee, he made significant contributions to the post’s successes.
In addition to his post financial responsibilities, he served as the 4th District Finance Officer from 2018 and as the 1st Division Finance Officer from 2016. He also held other American Legion post positions, including Sergeant-At-Arms and Vice Commander Social Activities.

He was actively involved in the Color Guard that represented the post at major community events. He also played a key role as Secretary on the Board of Directors for the Courcy Post 178 Foundation.
Terry originally joined the American Legion in 1994 at Post 264 in Lake Forest, Il. He joined because he wanted to serve a worthy cause. He transferred to Post 178 in December 2013.
Terry is a U.S. Army veteran. He joined in November 1960 in Los Angeles. He was a communications specialist in the 261st Signal Corps in Fort Bliss, TX. He was honorably discharged in November 1963 in El Paso, Texas.
