Two public Veterans Day services have been planned for this Friday to honor the men and women who have served America in the armed forces – one near Hedley and another at Clarendon College.
The Adamson-Lane Post 287 of the American Legion in Hedley will hold its annual service at the Rowe Cemetery at 10 a.m., and 18th District Commander Harold Lehnick.
Lehnick graduated from Groom High School in 1944 and was inducted in the US Army the following spring and served at Ft. McPherson in Georgia and Ft. Bragg in North Carolina.
The Rowe program will also include honoring Prisoners of War and those still Missing In Action.
The Clarendon College program will be held Friday at 7 p.m. in the Harned Sisters Fine Arts Auditorium. The guest speaker for the evening will be Dick Bode, and the service will include a Roll Call as well as a recognition of those serving in the military and their families.
