On Saturday, December 21, 2024 we celebrated our Annual Founder’s Day and the 100th Anniversary as Charles T. Norwood American Legion Post 157. The Post was chartered December 19, 1924, five years after the National American Legion received its Congressional Charter.
The Post celebrated with our fellow Legionnaires, family, and friends at the North Raleigh Hilton Hotel in Raleigh, NC. We were truly grateful for the camaraderie!!
