The annual La Vergne Veterans Day Ceremony is scheduled for November 11 at 11 a.m. at La Vergne City Hall, located at 5093 Murfreesboro Road. City offices will be closed on Friday, November 10 in observance of Veteran’s Day.
This year’s speakers include Brian Morris and Sgt. Bill Timson. The National Anthem will be sung Fatima Al-Hajiri. There will also be a 21 gun salute (recorded) and taps will be played by Donna Arsenault. This year there will also be a display with a World War II uniform, pictures, and other memorabilia.
The parks department is also offering two ways for families and friends to honor their loved ones who have served in the armed forces.
