Dear American Veteran,

The Faculty, Staff, and Students of Century High School respectfully request the honor of your presence on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at our Annual Veterans Day Celebration. This celebration allows us to pay tribute to your military service and commitment to our country while also helping our students recognize the importance of “service to others”.
The day begins at 8:00 am with a light breakfast for veterans, family members, and any distinguished guests. Immediately following the breakfast, all veterans are invited to share memorabilia, pictures, and stories from their experiences with students and guests in a “Living History Museum”. The Living History Museum is set up in our auxiliary gymnasium and will be open to students until 1:00 pm. If you want to bring items to display, please try to arrive by 7:45 am so our JROTC cadets can help carry items and set up your display before breakfast.
Formal activities will conclude at 12:30 PM, however, veterans are welcome to stay and visit our social studies classrooms to speak with students.
We hope that you are able to clear your schedule and join us as we thank you for your service to our country. Your presence will be very meaningful to our students and the community. We look forward to seeing you at Century High School on November 11th!
To help us plan for your visit, please RSVP to [email protected] or to 410-903-3975 by Monday, November 2nd, 2026. You can also reply to 1SG Gary Johnson at [email protected]

As part of The American Legion Be the One mission to end veteran su***de, we have joined forces with Columbia University to develop training for those who want to learn more about interacting and responding with veterans who may be in crisis.

After the training, participants will be able to:

Use the Columbia Su***de Severity Rating Scale to determine at-risk individuals.
Identify risk factors and warning signs
Outline the types of suicidal ideation and four behaviors that indicate imminent risk.
Communicate effectively with an individual who may be at risk of hurting themselves.
Members of The American Legion Family are encouraged to take part in this training and share the training with their communities. Check back to this page or subscribe to The American Legion Online Update newsletter(Opens in a new window) to receive information about new training opportunities as they become available.

🇺🇸 ONE MORE MEMBER. TWICE THE IMPACT. 🇺🇸

Since July 1st, have YOU recruited at least ONE new Legionnaire to The American Legion?

Think about this for a moment…

The American Legion National Headquarters has more than 1.6 MILLION members worldwide.

If EVERY Legionnaire recruited just ONE new member, our membership would grow from:

🇺🇸 1,600,000 → 3,200,000 LEGIONNAIRES! 🇺🇸

That’s 1.6 MILLION additional voices advocating for our nation’s veterans, military families, and communities!

🏛️ NUMBERS SPEAK VOLUMES IN WASHINGTON, D.C.!

When our national leadership walks into the halls of Congress to advocate for veterans’ benefits, healthcare, mental health resources, and legislation, membership numbers matter.

Imagine the impact of representing 3.2 MILLION Legionnaires instead of 1.6 MILLION!

More members mean a stronger collective voice, greater influence, and more opportunities to make meaningful change.

But recruiting isn’t just about numbers. It’s about bringing another veteran into a community built on service, camaraderie, purpose, and support.

ONE conversation. ONE veteran. ONE new Legionnaire.

You don’t need to recruit 10, 20, or 100 people to make a difference.

JUST RECRUIT ONE MORE!

🇺🇸 Together, we can strengthen The American Legion and amplify our voice in Washington!
