Veterans Day

Once again another year has advanced and we will take the

time to remember the sacrifices that men and women made in

defending our country.

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month,

the world will rejoice and celebrate this memorable day.

In 1971 President Nixon declared it a federal holiday in November.

Americans will give thanks for peace on Veterans Day, charitable

activities will be distributing paper poppies made by disabled

veterans. This bright red wildflower became a symbol of World War 1

after a bloody battle in a field of poppies.

*****

We will have a service here in our Village on Wednesday

at 10:45 a.m. with the raising of both the American and Canadian

flags. We will be singing praises to both countries.

***

John D. will be taking any tattered flags and will dispose of them

the proper way. Please bring them with you

**

Afterwards there will be a light lunch served by Lakewood

Village volunteers.

**

Please take the time and come to the clubhouse for this

historical moment.

***

Sometimes the kindest act you can do in a day

is to listen to an old person.

We have history right here in our Village.
