The William Bradford Turner Post #265 sponsors the Veterans Day ceremony at the Village Memorial Plaza. Each year, the Post honors all who have served or are serving in the military .
Post Commander Frank Tauches began the ceremony at 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the guns of war stopped and silence encompassed the earth and a great joy swept over the land. He said, “our honored dead shall not have died in vain”.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the final accomplishment of the “Greatest Generation” of Americans who survived the Great Depression, executed the economic recovery through the New Deal, and won victory in Europe and the Pacific. Commander Tauches said, “I feel that the students of today may be the greatest generation of this century because of all the sacrifices they are making in light of the current pandemic and their selfless efforts for veterans of all wars and others in need”.
Commander Tauches thanked everyone for attending and thanked the veterans for their service.
