Veterans Day Ceremony In Northampton Township

Nov. 11th Northampton Township Veterans Day Ceremony planned

This year's Northampton Township Veterans Day Ceremony will be taking place on Thursday, November 11th at 5:00 pm in front of the Township Administration Building located 55 Township Rd., Richboro, PA. A Color Guard and keynote speaker will be in attendance along with Township officials and other dignitaries. We are hoping as many residents as possible are able to attend to honor our Veterans.

There will also be 15 Memorial Paver bricks to unveil at the Veteran’s Memorial Walk of Honor. Two of them represent recipients of the purple heart twice with one of them also being a bronze star recipient. In addition, one of the bricks represents a nephew that was killed in action in 2004 and was also a recipient of a purple heart. The Paver Program was started in 2017 and purchased or donated bricks have been added each year since then.
