In the relatively short amount of time that Richard A. Sibert has served as Commander of The American Legion James R. Hunt Post 639 Claysville, he has been recognized as one of the emerging leaders in veteran services.

He is a life member of The American Legion, AMVETS and Disabled American Veterans.

Driven by the desire to help people and support his nation's heroes, Sibert attributes his success as Commander to his network of supportive colleagues. In addition to his work with The American Legion, Sibert is on the board of directors of the Claysville Community Center and contributes regularly to the East Finley Township Park, McGuffey Park and Disabled American Veterans.
