OXFORD – At the traditional “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”, a Veterans Day observance was held at Fort Hill American Legion Post #376.

Speeches reflected on the service and sacrifice of members of the Nation’s armed forces. The event had an honorable service prayer, a special guest singer, ceremony, rifle salute, “Taps,” and light refreshments. Surprise quilt presentations were a major highlight.

Veterans Day has stood as an opportunity to pause and honor American veterans of all wars – and thus a day very close to The American Legion's heart and mission.
