Article Body: 

This year, we celebrate our 100th year, making us one of the oldest American Legion Posts in the country.
Although we no longer serve our country through our wartime service in the military, we continue our service to Millis. This we do by supporting and sponsoring Millis Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other youth programs.
We keep alive the memories of those who have served our country by putting on the Memorial Day parade, placing flags at veteran’s graves and flags and wreaths at the eleven memorials throughout the town honoring those Millis veterans who have died in World War II.
Every day, we see on television and other media, the price being paid by our warriors on behalf our country. Thank a veteran for their service.
Congress, which charted the American Legion, now allows ALL veterans to become Legionnaires, whether they served during wartime or peacetime. We invite all veterans to continue their service, this time to the town. We meet at the Post at 136 Curve Street, every Thursday morning for coffee and refreshments. We can also be reached at (508) 376-5311 or at PO Box 22. Please join us.
