Alamo Rangers

In 1958 most of the members left the Rangers to form the Chicago Royal Airs. The members who remained with the Alamo Post were later absorbed into the Chicago Vanguard (Des Plaines Vanguard).

"The emcee for the evening was RA alumnus Connell Griffin. He introduced original corps member Carm Logalbo who related the circumstances of the Royal Airs’ founding at a meeting of former members of the Alamo Rangers held at the boathouse in Chicago’s Humboldt Park on the afternoon of June 28, 1958, one week following a dispute with the Alamo American Legion Post over attending the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ Illinois State Championship and the dramatic burning of their membership cards on the front steps of the post."
