Special Ceremony Slated to Honor Veterans

, D-North Strabane, is asking constituents to mark their calendars for two events he is hosting later this year.

Neuman is hosting a veterans' celebration at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 6 in the auditorium.

All military veterans are welcome to attend this special ceremony to honor troops who have served in Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Southern Watch, and Iraqi Freedom, and the Afghanistan war.  

"We recognize the significant sacrifices of all veterans, and on this occasion, I will be fortunate to honor men and women who have served in some of our most recent conflicts," Neuman said. "It will be my first ceremony to publically thank these brave men and women, and I hope other members of the military community will join me at this special ceremony."

Neuman is also offering his popular Harrisburg Christmas bus tour Dec. 11.

The trip includes a tour of the Pennsylvania Governor’s residence, a tour of the Pennsylvania Capitol, lunch at the Capitol with Neuman, and a trip to Chocolate World in Hershey.

"The state Capitol and Governor's residence are beautiful, historic buildings, and when they are fully decorated at Christmastime, they are even more spectacular," Neuman said. "It's a fun day and a great opportunity to take in some history, learn more about state government and taste good chocolate in Hershey. If you are interested, please call our offices to find out more information and to put your name on a waiting list—seats will fill quickly."

Registration is required for both events. For more information or to register, please contact Neuman's constituent service office at 724-743-7602.
