A brief veterans Day ceremony will take place on Nov. 11 in Philip Marx Central Park. Sponsored by local American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 221, the ceremony will begin at 11:11 which commemorates the time of the signing of the Armistice which signified the end of World War I in 1918. The ceremony will consist of keynote speaker Full-Bird Colonel Betty Demus (see her story on page 24), flag raising, gun salute, benediction and taps. Members of the community are asked to bring their own chairs.

Following the ceremony at 1 p.m. Auxiliary members will be on hand at Home Depot with Christmas cards for anyone caring to send a greeting to military troops overseas. These cards will be included in the packages that the Auxiliary sends each year to those serving in foreign lands. The packages must be sent ahead of time to ensure delivery by Christmas.
