Bethany Veteran's Day Ceremony

Beletzky-Hoppe of VFW Post 2448 will be conducting a ceremony at 11 a.m., at Veterans Memorial Park. Choirs from Bethany Community School and Amity Middle and High Schools will be participating.

Bethany Boy Scouts from Troop 1 will form the honor guard. First Selectman Derrylyn Gorski, state Rep. Vickie Nardello and state Senator Joseph Crisco will be in attendance.

The Rev. Donna Ives, Post chaplain, will deliver a prayer of remembrance; and the Rev. Caroline Murphy, pastor of the First Church of Christ Congregational, will be giving the benediction.

The public is encouraged to attend this event, which marks the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, which ended World War I in 1918.

A small reception in the lodge at Veterans Park will follow. On display at the lodge are military artifacts donated in honor of veterans. The public is also invited to visit the Wall of Honor; the stone honoring the Dogs of War; and the bridge built by members of the VFW at the east end of Lake Hockanum, completing the walkway around the lake.
