John Humiston Post #11 American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #5613 and the Town of Jaffrey cordially invite citizens of Jaffrey and the surrounding towns to join us on Friday morning, November 11, to observe Veterans Day. The parade of veterans will assemble at Jaffrey’s Blake Street parking lot, step off will be at 10:40 am, and march to the Town Common. There a prayer will be offered, a wreath laid, an address delivered by US Army Veteran Marc Tieger and the National Anthem will be played. Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11 each year, a day when Armistice Day, as it was originally called, marked the end of the First World War at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Today, Veterans Day honors all veterans of the armed forces who have served their country in time of need. We extend a special invitation to those veterans who have served, and those who are still serving their country, to march with us.
For the 2022 Veterans Day Committee,
Marc Tieger, Coordinator
