Veterans Day ceremony to be held at Big Rapids' Veterans & Hometown Heroes Memorial

Posted About Eight Years Ago by Steve Gove

The Big Rapids Veterans and Homefront Heroes Memorial at Holland Park will play host to its first Veterans Day Ceremony Friday.

The event will take place on Friday at 11am.

Jean Bennett of the local AMVET’s Post in Big Rapids says this day means a lot to her.

“Being able to do a Veterans Day ceremony at the park basically brings me to tears; it’s been a long time coming. There were people who didn’t want the park but we pushed through and made it happen and now it’s time to utilize the park for that it was built for,” she said.

Here is a list of local events planned for Veterans Day on Friday Nov. 11th:

9:00am-12pm SOS Breakfast at Big Rapids AMVETS Post 1941

10:30am Legion Post 98 Honor Guard gun salute

11am Veterans Day Ceremony at Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital

Events for Sunday Nov. 13th:
