Veterans Day is November 11.
We remember and recognize those that have served and still serve today. We can’t forget the sacrifices that the few make for so many. It is important to remember as we face a more complicated world and we only go into battle only when necessary that there are so many ready to serve and all of their lives are valuable. Their stories are important to learn and their experiences can teach you a lot. So let’s make sure that we are flying our flags on November 11. Originally known as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of hostilities at the end of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, it was renamed Veterans Day in 1954

Here are some of the events that will mark Veterans Day:

9:00 am – The Veterans Day Parade begins at 10th and O, and proceeds down Needham to Graceada Park. There will be a program at Graceada Park in Mancini Bowl at 10:30 AM. The parade and program in the park are organized by local veterans honoring and remembering veterans, active duty military and celebrating Women Veterans. The parade will include military vehicles, marching bands, classic cars and Grand Marshals. The family friendly program at Graceada Park will include tunes by the MJC Band, patriotic speeches by local leaders, and a 21-gun salute and taps on the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day.
