Lewisboro Makes Veterans Day Plans To Include Every Generation

LEWISBORO, NY — Lewisboro will commemorate and celebrate Veterans Day on Thursday with traditional style and grace.

Organizers say the events have been planned as a celebration of Lewisboro's living veterans, but have also included a moment of silence at 11 a.m. and Taps will be played at the end of the ceremonies.

Planners are hoping to have as many Lewisboro veterans as possible attend the event.

The daylong schedule of events calls for the whole town to participate in the celebration:

At 8 a.m., a breakfast for veterans will be served at the South Salem Fire Department. Boy Scout Troop 1 will help to serve the honorees.

At 9:30 a.m, Doreen Nastasio’s Girl Scouts and crew will be picking up and delivering cookies to local veterans.

A 11 a.m., a special ceremony will take place on the front lawn of the Lewisboro Town House by the Veterans Flag Pole. The Golden's Bridge Boy Scout and Girls troops will take part in the traditional flag retirement during the celebration.

The Lions Club will grill hamburgers and hot dogs in the parking lot after the commemoration. The time has been set aside to give the larger community a chance to socialize and personally say thank you to the veterans (who will not be required to share their cookies).
