American Legion Post 58 of Belmont recently donated $500 to Gilford-based Camp Resilience program. Kurt Webber, co-founder and President of the non-profit Patriot Resilient Leader Institute, gave a talk on the program to Post members about the PRLI’s mission to help veterans. The group used the occasion to present Webber with the check for $500.
Post Adjutant and Finance Officer Woodbury "Woody” Fogg visited a Camp Resilience orientation session and was impressed with the program's effectiveness and its frugal management. "At Post 58 our members work hard to raise money to donate to worthy causes so we’re very careful about where we invest our dollars,” said Fogg. "Camp Resilience turned out to be a good fit for our
support,” he added.
Post 58 is known for its community good works including organizing Belmont’s annual Memorial Day Parade, joining the Pease Greeters welcoming home deployed troops and providing scholarships and sports trophies to graduating Belmont High School students. Post Commander Stanley invited any veteran who may be interested in "giving back” to drop in at the next meeting of the Post scheduled for 5 p.m. on June 5th at the Belmont Mill, second floor.

On the evening of September 20, 1920 fifteen World War I veterans gathered in the old carriage house opposite St. Joseph's church and organized the Charles Kilborn Post #58 American Legion. Walter C. Harris was chosen the first post Commander. The post was named for Charles Cutting Kilborn, who died at Camp Yaphank, Long Island, NY on October 5, 1918, just four weeks to the day he left home. He was a native of Belmont and spent nearly all his life at his family's farm off Bean Hill Road (Richard Perry farm).
For a number of years the organization occupied the building opposite the town hall on Fuller Street. This was sold in 1956 in anticipation of construction of new quarters but the project was later abandoned. The town later voted to allow the organization use of the old fire station in return for its upkeep and meetings have been held here since that time.
Over the years the American Legion has been active in patriotic causes and has never failed to place both a flag and a floral tribute on the grave of every Belmont veteran on Memorial Day.
