Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
The Josselyn-Cummings American Legion (Post 149), located at 104 King
\nStreet in Hanover, will be rededicating its revitalized function hall on
\nTuesday, June 28th, 2022, at 12:00 noon. The public is invited to attend. <\/p>\n
In what was formally known as \u201cAmerican Legion Function Hall\u201d, Post 149
\nwill rededicate and rename its historic function hall to \u201cCentennial
\nHall\u201d. The new name, Centennial Hall, is based on the 100-year founding
\nof the American Legion in 1919. Post 149 will recognize the local veterans,
\nfamilies, friends, local community groups, public officials, Scouts, and
\nothers who have contributed to the great success of Hanover\u2019s American
\nLegion.<\/p>\n
The American Legion was founded in March 1919, in Paris, France, by U.S.
\nWorld War I military personnel. They dedicated themselves to four pillars
\nof service and advocacy: veterans, military personnel, youth, and patriotic
\nvalues. National membership combined with the American Legion Auxiliary and
\nSons of the American Legion exceeds 3 million. Today, there are
\napproximately 13,000 local posts worldwide. The American Legion has been
\ninstrumental in the creation of a number of major institutions in American
\nsociety, including the formation of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the
\ncreation of the U.S. Flag Code, the passage of the GI Bill, and more.<\/p>\n
The local Post 149, founded in 1946, takes pride in assisting veterans in
\nneed locally and overseas, including the Nathan Hale Foundation, ALS ONE,
\nThe Fisher House (which houses families of veterans at the VA Hospital),
\nJared Allen\u2019s Homes for Wounded Warriors, Weymouth Police Officer
\nChesna\u2019s Family Fund and local high school scholarships, just to name a
\nfew.<\/p>\n
Post 149 acknowledges everyone for their support during this rededication
\nceremony especially the Hanover Scouts for their replacement of the new
\nawning. Please join the good folks at the Post 149 on June 28th, at 12:00
\npm noon, for the special ceremony of \u201cCentennial Hall\u201d. Refreshments
\nwill be served. Please contact Post 149 Commander Ray Miller:
