About the post
A century-old promise, kept locally
Who we are, who we're named for, and what we do for Estacada.
Our namesake
Carl Douglas
The post carries the name of Carl Douglas, a serviceman killed at Fort Stevens, near Warrenton, Oregon, while manning his post. Naming a post after a fallen service member is a Legion tradition — it keeps one person's story at the center of the post's work, generation after generation.

Community partnership
The Estacada Veteran's Memorial
Post 74 is a proud partner behind the Estacada Veteran's Memorial, located on SW 2nd Street in downtown Estacada. The memorial's two "Walls of Honor" hold engraved bricks for veterans and first responders, arranged along figure-eight walkways meant to symbolize infinity. Brick dedications are held each Memorial Day and Veterans Day, hosted by the Estacada Area Support Our Troops Foundation. An eagle statue on permanent loan from Post 74 stands at the memorial.
