Ellis County Veterans Appreciation Ceremony - (2021)
Sat Nov 13, 10:00 AM - Sat Nov 13, 7:00 PM

Admission to this ceremony is FREE! This event has long been the standard-bearer for how veterans of all military branches should be honored and respected by our society. Many veterans struggle with their transition from military service, while at the same time a large handful also did not receive a proper welcome home upon their return from combat service.

We owe our freedoms to these brave men and women who raised their right hand and swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic... and bear true faith and allegiance to the same".

We hope that you will join us for this special occasion! We always change things up a bit to make every ceremony unique. Back as our Master of Ceremonies is Ken Roberts from KBEC 1390 radio. The Classic Swing Band, the POW/MIA Empty Chair tribute will be presented by Ed Lane, The Reveille Sisters, Singers Casey Needham and Fletcher Jowers, bagpiper Scott Geiger, the Ellis County Marine Corps League Detachment 1452's Honor Guard, and bugler Lane Grayson will be in attendance.
