Legion's 100th birthday and centennial coins

Legion birthday
March 15-17 will mark The American Legion’s 100th birthday. American Legion posts nationwide are planning activities and events to mark the occasion, and are encouraged to share those events on the Legiontown website, www.legiontown.org.

A suggested centennial birthday speech for posts to use during their celebration event is available at  www.legion.org/publications under Media & Communications.
Additionally, the 100th Anniversary Media Toolkit contains the centennial speech at three lengths of 15, 10 and 5 minutes of speaking time.
The 100th Anniversary Media Toolkit helps posts, districts and departments celebrate their history by sharing it with their community with easy-to-use media templates, event ideas and suggestions materials. The goal is to get the message out in front of the public, using all media tools available.

Download the centennial media kit at  www.centennial.legion.org under “Tools.” Also available in this section is the centennial logo for media usage.
