<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 11, as we recognize and commemorate the brave men and women who have risked all for the life and liberty you enjoy today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t been to one of these before, it\u2019s not a bunch of grizzled veterans sitting around telling war stories. It is a respectful gathering of all those who have served, all those whose lives have been affected by a loved one\u2019s service, and all those who value the sacrifice made by a few, so that all can enjoy the freedom we take for granted. If you belong in any of those three buckets, please join us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main ceremony is unlike anything else I\u2019ve been to in our community. There actually may be a war story, but there will also be reverence, gratitude, dignity, respect, singing, dancing, and a wistful but proud sense \u2013 that feels good down to the bone \u2013 of a job well done, and a country well served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main ceremony will be at 11 a.m. in the Recreation Center, and a brief flag ceremony will also be held at 8 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Park. Remember \u2013 honor \u2013 pay it back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
