According to its page on the Centennial Celebration website, Post 5 has the only American Legion Cemetery in the world.

"Post 5 bought the two-acre land in the 1920s, with Auxiliary member Mrs. O.N. Bie leading the charge. According to Legion lore, Mrs. Bie couldn't stomach the notion of a homeless World War I veteran being buried in a pauper's grave. At the time, the cemetery was on the outskirts of town. Now, it's near one of Tampa's busiest intersections, adjoining the even smaller Hopewell Church Cemetery. Lindell Motors is on one side, a strip mall on the other. The bone-white tombstones march toward a line of oaks. This is sacred ground. Protected ground. Care of the Tampa cemetery falls to The American Legion Cemetery Corp., a group founded in the 1970s. The corporation board has six members - three from Post 5 and three from Auxiliary Unit 5."
