VFW Hosts Ceremony for Veterans This Saturday November 9th

The Jason D Lewis Brookfield Memorial VFW Post will Host a formal ceremony in anticipation of the upcoming Veterans Day. It will be held on Saturday morning, November 9th beginning at 10:45 AM. The event will take place at the Williams Memorial Park across the road from the Brookfield Public Library located at 182 Whisconier Road (Rt. 25) in Brookfield.

The public is encouraged to attend the event to honor our military veterans who have served our nation as members of the Active Component, the National Guard and the Reserves.

The ceremony will begin with the posting of the colors and the singing of the National Anthem. There will be a wreath laid at the foot of the Soldier’s memorial monument followed by a moment of silence to honor the memory of those Brookfield veterans who have passed away. The Post Commander, Joseph A. Beal, will then deliver the commemorative speech. After the address, the Post Honor Guard will render a 21 gun salute paying tribute to Brookfield and area veterans. The ceremony will end with the playing of Taps and a final prayer.

Immediately after the ceremony a reception for attending veterans will take place at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church up the road.
