ST. CHARLES, IL — The city of St. Charles plans to hold its annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11 starting at 10:30 a.m. at the city's new police station, 1515 West Main Street. The ceremony will begin with the singing of the National Anthem, followed by a prayer, remarks, a closing prayer, gun salute and Taps performance, according to a news release from the St. Charles Police Department.
“Veterans Day is a day when we as a community gather and say ‘thank you’ to our veterans for their selfless service to our country,” said St. Charles Mayor Raymond P.
