Buncombe County -- From HHS: One thing that remains solid during this time of rapid change is the gratitude we, as Americans,

feel toward those that defend our freedom. What started as a day to honor the end of World War I is now a national day of recognition during which Americans reflect on the monumental sacrifices made by our service members.  

Join us as we honor our Veterans in a Virtual Veterans Day Ceremony-taking place on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. on the Asheville City YouTube channel. This year’s keynote speaker, 100-year-old Dr. PJ Moore, will share his stories and reflect on his time as a surgeon in WWII. Other speakers will be Stephanie Young, Director of the Charles George VA. Also, there will be three readings from Veterans from Vietnam and Iraq who are part of a Veterans writing group, Brothers and  Sisters Like These.

Honor Our Veterans: Click Here to watch the ceremony on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.

Spread the Word: Are you hoping to do more to honor our Veterans this year? Share information about this event by posting this flyer on social media or emailing it to your friends, encouraging them to tune in with you.
