Note: This story is part of our series on the remarkable World War I resources and features that can be found on the Centennial Commission website, ww1cc.org

Mark your calendars! There is a special feature on our website that lets you check out World War I events and add your own in just a click of a mouse.

The U.S. National WW1 Centennial Events Register page is an interactive feature that allows users to submit and check out amazing events commemorating World War I and its history across the country and abroad.

In honor of the centennial entry of the United States, new exhibitions and displays as well as other events are opening up all across the country to help people understand the impact and legacy of World War I.

Events like African Americans Doctors of WW1 commemorate the efforts and services of people who have helped advanced the war effort. 104 African American doctors joined in on helping the 92nd and 93rd Divisions, providing care and medical treatment to the 40,000 men who fought on the battlefield.

You can see authors Doug Fisher and Joanne Buckley talk about the contributions these doctors made at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, which are just part of the few events that people can attend.

You can can submit events to the U.S National WWI Centennial Events Register, where it will be published publicly as part of the national archive of World War I Centennial Activities. To submit an event, you will need to provide some details -- a detailed description of the event, what is going on, who is in charge, and what people can expect.
