The Veterans Day ceremony in Lexington will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, in the sanctuary of the Lexington Presbyterian Church.
The keynote speaker will be retired Navy Commander Dennis Bussey, who will speak about his family’s years of service in the military and his father’s actions as a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Col. John Brodie and the Virginia Military Institute Glee Club will perform throughout the event, and Brodie will play “Taps” at the conclusion of the ceremony. The color guard from the Lexington Police Department will present the colors. The invocation will be delivered by retired Col. Scott Risser.
Mayor Frank Friedman and other invited political representatives will offer their comments on veterans and their service to the United States.
This is the third year the program has been organized by the Lexington Woman’s Club. The committee members are Mel Botulinski, Julie Goodrich, Ann Hopkins, Diana Hopkins, Anita James, Jan Lowry, Freda Scheuer and Liz Shupe with ex-officio members Shelley Undercoffer and Suzanne Williams.
This event was entrusted to the Lexington Woman’s Club because of its long record of service to the community beginning in 1911.
