Veterans Day Observance

Approximately 2,200 luminaries will be placed on the Cantigny Parade Field and sidewalks, each candle representing six 1^st Infantry Division soldiers killed in action from World War I to the present. The lights also honor the more than 650,000 men and women who gave their lives in combat since the Revolutionary War. In honor of Veterans Day, the First Division Museum will offer extended hours, remaining open until 9 p.m.  At 6 p.m. and again at 8 p.m., the museum will present “Veterans’ Voices,” a program featuring living history re-enactors reading actual letters written and posted by soldiers over the years.
