Monday’s ceremony at the American Legion Hall at Fireman’s Park will begin at 11 a.m. The featured speaker will be Joe Ramirez, Jr., retired Brigadier General and Commandant of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. Following the ceremony, there will be a cakewalk and a barbecue beef and pork sausage lunch.
Washington County Veterans Association President Ben Seeker reminds the public that Veterans Day is a day of celebration.
Because Brenham High School has limited parking, a bus will be provided leaving from the American Legion Hall at 8:45 a.m., and will return at approximately 10:50 a.m. in time for the 11 a.m. program at the American Legion Hall. KWHI will begin its live broadcast of the ceremony at 10:45 a.m.
