Official honoring ceremonies begin at 9am at the Yardley monument (intersection of Afton Ave. and Delaware Ave) across from the Yardley Inn. This 45-minute ceremony includes a special keynote speech by United States Armey Lt. Colonel (Ret) Jon Pfender, placing of wreaths, reading of Flanders Fields, introduction of Poppy Queens Blair Greene and Molly Maurstad as well as a rifle salute.

Steps off at 11:00 at North Main Street and McKinley Avenue, ending at American Legion Post 317. The days’ events are both educational and historical. They effectively demonstrate the efforts of Veterans, community and government to promote Americanism and pay proper regard to all who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we all may live in freedom. VFW Post 6393 and American Legion Post 317 will be open for supporters and community visitors throughout the day.
