We succeed only because of the selfless dedication and hard work of our valued members. Together we will !! Post 143 was Chartered in March 1920 as New Cumberland Post Number 143. The Post was rechartered in March 1923 as Wiliam H. Nauss Post Number 143 in memoriam to William Henry Nauss who was Killed in Action in World War I at Fiscmes, France while serving in Company C, 112th Infantry, 28th Division AEF. Post 143 initially was located on Sixth Street in New Cumberland, later moved to Third Street, and dedicated our current Post Home at 214 Market St. On May 2, 1998. Post 143 is so much more than bricks and mortar. Yes, we are very proud of our Post 143 Home, Canteen, Kitchen and Banquet facilities, but they are only as good as the people who occupy them. The spirit of William H Nauss still resonates through all the volunteer works performed by our members throughout the year; Toys for Tots, Veterans Day, Memorial Day Parade, VA Veterans Hospital, Breakfast with Santa, Post 143 Legion Baseball, NCYBA Baseball, Scholarship Funds, Cedar Cliff ROTC, Poppy Princess, Cumberland County Womans and Children Shelter and Make a Wish Foundation are just a few of the events and organizations that we sponsor and support. There are so many more... We work hard but we also know how to have a good time. Our members enjoy our Nutsy Open and Dean Rodgers Golf Tournaments (With proceeds going to charity, of course) We also have functions on New Years Eve, Valentines, Day, Christmas, Veterans Day and many others such as our famous S.A.L. Ham and Cheese blitz's and extremely popular Auxiliary Halloween Party. As with our golf tournaments, the proceeds from our functions go to a local charity or organization. We also sponsor some of the top Billiards teams in the area, and have a summertime golf league at DDRE. We also have our beloved Golden Tee. If our members can play it ,we will somehow find a way to be involved. We recently installed four new Sony HD Flat Screens TV's in our Canteen and a new Bose Sound System for our members as we continually try to improve our Post.
