Veterans Day Events, Remembrance Services Held
Communities in the United States and southeast England are marking Veterans Day and Remembrance observances with parades, ceremonies, wreath-laying and public tributes. Palm Springs plans a downtown parade featuring military units, bands and a Navy Super Hornet, followed by an Army Reserve Band concert and fireworks, along with letter-writing and a complimentary dinner for veterans and active-duty service members. In Idaho’s Treasure Valley, Nov. 11 ceremonies include a keynote address by Sen. Jim Risch, and Boise’s annual veterans parade is scheduled for Nov. 14 under a theme recognizing 250 years of American service. Kauai’s celebration will include a veterans’ ceremony, free lunch for veterans, entertainment, family activities and information about veteran resources. In Kent, Sussex and Surrey, crowds gathered at memorials for services and parades, observing a minute of silence at 11 a.m. and laying wreaths to remember those killed in conflicts.
