Veterans Day Program Set
Veterans Day began as Armistice Day ,on the “eleventh hour of the elev-enth day of the eleventh month” of 1918, and is a annual federal holiday marked on November 11.
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday celebrated in May. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who had died while in military service. No apostrophe is used with Veterans Day because it is a day that honors all veterans.
United States Navy Commander Jim Moore (Ret) will be the Keynote Speaker at the local American Legion Post 65 Veterans Day Celebration. Some of Commander Moore’s decorations include: Defense Meritorious Medal, Navy Meritorious Medal two awards, Navy Commendation Medal two awards, National Defense Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, Southwest Asian Service medal, Sea Service Medal Seven Awards, Overseas Service Medal, and Service Warfare Office. Commander Moore started out as enlisted in February 1975, and for the next twenty years progressed through the ranks.
Upon retirement, CDR Moore accepted the position as Senior Naval Science Instructor at Saluda High School, where he started the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp (NJROTC) Program. He remained in the position for the next 17 years.
Come and help us celebrate Veterans Day! The event is free, open to the public at the Saluda Theater on Law Range. Please mark your calendar. November 11, 4 pm, Saluda Theater on Law Range, Saluda, SC 29138.
