Veteran’s Day Ceremony – Monday, November 12th Ridgewood’s Veteran’s Day ceremony will take place on Monday, November 12, 2007 at 11a.m. at Memorial Park in Van Neste Square. Our community is blessed with outstanding men and women who are in harms way on our behalf. They are our neighbors, friends, and relatives. They are America’s veterans of the future. Please join American Legion Post 53 at the ceremony to thank them, as well as those who have served in the past, for keeping us safe and secure.

>It is unfortunate that the ceremonies are held at 11am. The only people who can attend are the retired or the stay-at-homes. Sadder still, mostly the retired will be the only ones who show. Knowing that most people need to work, why do they insist on having ceremonies when so few people would be able to attend?
