YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local American Legion post is looking to reopen their kitchen soon after temporarily closing it. "In September of 2025, the officers of the American Legion decided to renovate the kitchen, so we shut it down," said American Legion Post 56 finance officer Steve Mercado. While the kitchen is closed, the hall and bar still remain open for locals to enjoy. We're ready to start preparing meals as soon as we're up and running," said Mercado. American Legion Post 56 says they hope to have the parts by the end of February and have the kitchen back up and running to serve local veterans.
