The City of Westfield will hold its annual Veterans Day Ceremony, presented by Citizens Energy Group, on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at IMMI Conference Center, 18880 East St.
The ceremony is free and open to the public. Please plant to attend as those who fought for this great nation are honored at an event that highlights the history and significance of Veterans Day.
“As a proud U.S. Marine and the grandson of a hero who laid down his life in the line of duty, I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to honor my fellow servicemen and women,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “Freedom is not free, and I’m thankful to live in a community that remembers that fact by honoring and cherishing its veterans.”
Breakfast will be available from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., followed by the ceremony featuring live performances, a special gift for veterans, the Hometown Heroes presentation, and more. Attendees will also hear from Mayor Willis, and a special keynote speech from Westfield resident and Vietnam veteran Mike Madigan.
In addition, student essay and poster winners will display and present their submissions during the ceremony. The contest is currently open for entries until Oct. 31.
Those planning to attend should RSVP by Nov. 10. To learn more about the ceremony, submit a contest entry or Hometown Hero photo, and to RSVP, visit westfieldin.gov/veteransdayceremony.
