Greetings Neighbors

A quick reminder about your Saturday, November 12 Veterans Day celebration and ceremony at 9 AM.
All citizens welcome. All veterans and their families, friends and neighbors are welcome. All communities. All branches. All components. All eras. All ages. Female and male veterans.

We're back at it again for Veterans Day 2016. Join us on November 12 at 9 AM for our citizen-led, community naming celebration of all our veterans. Doesn't matter where you live, be part of this special morning. Veterans are invited to be part of the lowering and raising of the flag.

All are welcome on Saturday, November 12 at 9 am at the Edgebrook Flag (Devon, Lehigh and Caldwell) as we celebrate Veterans Day 2016. We will speak out loud the names (or a veteran will say their own name) of all those who have served or are still serving in the US Armed Forces. We will speak out loud the names of veterans who are no longer with us. This is a naming ceremony...Please bring the name and branch of service of the veteran(s) you will name, including yourself if you are a veteran.
