The Josselyn-Cummings American Legion (Post 149) will be rededicating its revitalized function hall on Tuesday, June 28th, 2022, at 12:00 pm 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 1946. Post 149 will recognize the local Veterans and Services, 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.
Post 149 takes pride in assisting Veterans in need locally and overseas: 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 thousands of dollars to the local High School scholarships, just to name a few organizations supported by our Post.
Post 149 acknowledges everyone for their support during this rededication ceremony especially the Hanover Scouts for their replacement of our new awning. Please join us on June 28th, at 12:00 pm noon, for our special ceremony of “Centennial Hall”. Refreshments will be served.
