Legion posts: share how you will remember 9/11

Sunday marks the 21st anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It’s a time in history that The American Legion will never forget.

For two decades, American Legion posts have conducted ceremonies on 9/11 to ensure that their communities don’t forget the lives lost that day or those lost while fighting the global war on terrorism prompted by the attack. The American Legion wants to hear how posts are remembering the 21st anniversary of Sept. 11. Please share your stories and photos on Legiontown.
