Veterans honored for service during Veterans Day ceremony
Ceremonies featured speeches, honors and music as local leaders recognized veterans and volunteers for service and community support.
- On Wednesday, communities nationwide held Veterans Day ceremonies honoring those who served, with events at Sherrill Veteran's Memorial Park and Williston Heritage Park celebrating military sacrifice and service.
- Native Americans serve at five times the national average; about 90 percent of those who served in Vietnam volunteered, according to tribal leader Robbie McGhee, vice chairman of the Poarch Creeks Tribal Council.
- The Poarch Band of Creek Indians is building a veterans memorial in Atmore to bring recognition to service members, following the tribe's advocacy for Congressional Gold Medals honoring code talkers.
- Distinguished units like the 761st Tank Battalion and the Tuskegee Airmen demonstrate the courage Black Americans showed across conflicts from the American Revolutionary War through the Korean War despite facing discrimination.
- Preserving these stories is vital to keeping history alive, McGhee said, emphasizing that military service remains essential to protecting sovereignty and demonstrating patriotism for future generations.
