Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Josselyn-Cummings American Legion (Post 149), located at 104 King
Street in Hanover, will be rededicating its revitalized function hall on
Tuesday, June 28th, 2022, at 12:00 noon. The public is invited to attend.
In what was formally known as “American Legion Function Hall”, Post 149
will rededicate and rename its historic function hall to “Centennial
Hall”. The new name, Centennial Hall, is based on the 100-year founding
of the American Legion in 1919. Post 149 will recognize the local veterans,
families, friends, local community groups, public officials, Scouts, and
others who have contributed to the great success of Hanover’s American
Legion.
The American Legion was founded in March 1919, in Paris, France, by U.S.
World War I military personnel. They dedicated themselves to four pillars
of service and advocacy: veterans, military personnel, youth, and patriotic
values. National membership combined with the American Legion Auxiliary and
Sons of the American Legion exceeds 3 million. Today, there are
approximately 13,000 local posts worldwide. The American Legion has been
instrumental in the creation of a number of major institutions in American
society, including the formation of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the
creation of the U.S. Flag Code, the passage of the GI Bill, and more.
The local Post 149, founded in 1946, takes pride in assisting veterans in
need locally and overseas, including the Nathan Hale Foundation, ALS ONE,
The Fisher House (which houses families of veterans at the VA Hospital),
Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors, Weymouth Police Officer
Chesna’s Family Fund and local high school scholarships, just to name a
few.
Post 149 acknowledges everyone for their support during this rededication
ceremony especially the Hanover Scouts for their replacement of the new
awning. Please join the good folks at the Post 149 on June 28th, at 12:00
pm noon, for the special ceremony of “Centennial Hall”. Refreshments
will be served. Please contact Post 149 Commander Ray Miller:
raymiller23@verizon.net, 781-706-5053, for additional information.
