Veterans Day is an official United States holiday honoring armed service veterans. It is not to be confused with Memorial Day, because Veterans Day is a day of remembering the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.

All veterans are welcome to attend and are invited to a potluck that will be served downstairs at the VFW Post 607 following the ceremony.
