ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt. (WCAX) – The Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Essex Junction held a celebration on this Veterans Day.
Post 6689 honored veterans at the war memorial at the city’s Five Corners. The event began with a prayer, the pledge of allegiance and a speech about what Veterans Day is all about.
Members say they hope everyone can find a way to celebrate a veteran in their life.
“If you take a little bit of time and remember who in your family were veterans. Think about them if they have passed, or you know, give them a call. Tell them you love them,” said Rodger Brassard of VFW Post 6689.
Veterans spent the rest of their day together eating food and talking about their time in the military.
