Braxton-Perkins Post #25 of the American Legion is located at 7609 Marshall Ave. Newport News, Virginia 23605. It was chartered on August 25, 1919.

Braxton-Perkins Post was named in honor of two local men who died in World War I. Second Lieutenant Elliott Muse Braxton (grandson of Congressman and Confederate Major Elliott Muse Braxton and Great-Great Grandson of Carter Braxton a signer of the Declaration of Independence) was killed October 9, 1918 in action in France during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. First Lieutenant Pryor Richard Perkins was a member of the 20th Aero Squadron, United States Army and died October 3, 1918 (during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive) as he was landing his de Havilland DH-4 at Marilan Field, France in clouds and fog when another machine landed on top of his causing him to fall 50 feet to his death.
