Sedona AZ – In recognition of the American Legion Centennial, the Centennial committee from American Legion Posts 25, 90, 93 and 135 proudly announces that Arizona Congressman Dr. Paul Gosar will be the keynote speaker for its April 27 celebration at the Camp Verde Community Park, Camp Verde.

Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S., is serving his fifth term in Congress as the Representative from Arizona’s Fourth Congressional District. First elected in 2010, he came to Congress with no prior political experience. He believes that the Constitution is the cornerstone of our Republic, and always pursues policies that allow for more individual liberty and less government involvement.

Proceeding opening comments at 11:00 a.m., participants will witness the return of the 1919 Centennial Motorcycle Run. Along with Arizona American Legion officers, Yavapai Nation Chairwoman Jane Russell-Winiecki, local city mayors, and presidents of surrounding community associations will be in attendance.

There will be free food and non-alcoholic beverages! Plus, community visitors can participate in the Americana Free Poster Contest by voting for their favorite drawings – prizes will be awarded in various age categories from second to twelfth grade.
