Taps will be played precisely at 11:00 a.m. after observing two minutes of silence. While Veterans Day is primarily a tribute to America’s living Veterans, it is always appropriate to include a moment of respect for those who gave their lives for their country. The flags will be displayed atop the monument for the observance of Veterans Day. The public is invited to visit the monument, take photos with their Veterans, and reflect on the service and dedication of all Veterans. No ceremony. Please observe all COVID-19 precautions.
