Events
We host various events from time to time. We honor each of the services birthdays, Veterans Day, Memorial Day and Armed Forces Day.
- Memorial Day was first organized to honor Union losses of the Civil War and after WWI expanded to recognize those who died in any American War. Observed on the last Monday in May.
- Veterans Day honors those who have served in any branch of the American military. Celebrated on November 11 each year. Originally started as Armistice Day to recognize the end of WWI on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
- Armed Forces Day started in 1949 intending to consolidate Army, Navy, Marine Corp, Coast Guard, and Air Force days . While it is observed, it has not replaced observance of the individual services. Observed the third Saturday in May each year.
