Veterans Day is Wednesday, and several events honoring our nation’s military service members will take place around the county.
Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, marking the end of the First World War at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918. It was later changed to Veterans Day to honor all living veterans who served in peacetime or war.
The Veterans Memorial Park will host the annual Veterans Day service at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. All veterans are welcome to enjoy a meal after the service.
Another Veterans Day event is set for 11 a.m. in the Superior Courtroom of the Columbus County Courthouse.
The Park will host its inaugural Veterans Fall Rally on Nov. 14. Vendors, a veterans stand down, a cruise-in and motorcycle rally are scheduled. Live music will come featured throughout the day as well.
The Post OFfice, government offices and banks will be closed Wednesday for Veterans Day, along with a number of private offices.
