Veterans’ Day observance Saturday

Tupper Lake will again observe Veterans Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month- and that’s Saturday at 11a.m. at the Veterans’ Park on Park Street. As usual the event will be attended by the Tupper Lake Veterans Honor Guard and the student members of the Tupper Lake High School band. Both the honor guard and the band brightly color and add pageantry to the national holiday which remembers the men and women of our military- both present and past.

Each year the four veterans posts here alternate hosting the Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies here. Saturday is the American Legion Post’s turn.

Guest speaker this year will be native son, long time teacher, local veteran and former town councilman, Jim Kucipeck.

On Friday at 2p.m. veterans groups here will honor veterans who currently reside at the Mercy Living Center.
