JBLM to support a number of Veterans Day observances

November 7, 2018 By The Suburban Times

Joint Base Lewis-McChord will support more than 40 Veterans Day events hosted by schools, veterans groups, and other organizations in local communities from November 6-12. Various units across the base are providing guest speakers, equipment displays, musicians, and color guards.

Each year, JBLM leaders make Veterans Day a priority as a way to say thank you to people and communities who do so much throughout the year to support service members and their families.

Soldiers and Airmen will participate in Veterans Day programs at 15 local schools, three churches, more than 12 community/civic organizations, and three parades.
NOTE TO EDITORS: The following is a list of events our Soldiers and Airmen will take part in surrounding Veterans Day and is provided for news media use for planning purposes. Many of these events are open to the public; however, some are not. Individuals or media organizations seeking to attend should contact the organization hosting the specific event they are interested in for more information).
