Sunday, November 11th Veterans Day Ceremony

World War II "Real Stuff" Display at the Garden City Public Library

The Garden City Public Library is hosting what is described as the World War II "Real Stuff" Display in cases across from the front desk and in the basement lobby of the library throughout the month of November. The timing is per-fect because Veterans Day will be celebrated on Sunday November 11th and some may have a day off on Monday the 12th. Brief ceremonies will be conducted, beginning at 10:45 AM Sunday, November 11th at the veterans memorial on 7th Street between the library and the train station, across from the Garden City Hotel. A bell will be struck at precisely the 11th hour of the 11th month to once again honor our veterans. Commander John Donovan will lead members of the William Bradford Turner Post of the American Legion, other com-munity leaders, and members of the community in honoring our devoted veterans. Echo Taps will be played by Garden City High School musicians Peter Clarke, Mathew Thaler, and John Wolf. "On Veterans Day we commemorate the services of veterans of all wars, liv-ing 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 Sunday, November 11th to honor our veterans - all of them are heroes.
