Veterans Day Ceremony In Garden City

2005-11-04 / Front Page

The bell will strike at the 11th hour of the 11th month to once again honor our veterans. Brief ceremonies will be conducted, beginning at 10:45 AM Friday, November 11th. Although last year's ceremony was combined with a rededication of the Rainbow Division Monument, this year the ceremony will take place, once again, at the veterans memorial on 7th Street between the library and the train station, across from the Garden City Hotel. Commander John Donovan will lead members of the William Bradford Turner Post of the American Legion, other community leaders, and members of the community in honoring our devoted veterans. "On Veterans Day we commemorate the services of veterans of all wars, living and dead," says Commander Donovan. "We remember how our men and women, many of them citizen soldiers, set aside their civilian pursuits to defend the freedom of mankind and to preserve our precious American Heritage." Community leaders join in asking all of us to be in front of the Garden City Library at 10:45 AM on Friday, November 11th to honor our veterans - all of them our heroes.
