Everyone in Garden City is invited to celebrate Veterans Day this coming Wednesday. A bell will strike at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to once again honor our veterans, for that was the moment when the end of World War I occurred. Brief ceremonies will be conducted, beginning at 10:45 AM Wednesday, November 11th. The ceremony will take place 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 service 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.” A beautiful rendition of Echo Taps will be played by Garden City High School musicians Robert Pietrzak and Marissa Burdi to honor those veterans of past wars that they may rest in peace. Community leaders join in asking all of us to be in front of the Garden City Library at 10:45 AM on Wednesday, November 11th to honor our veterans - all of them our heroes.
