Veterans Day Celebration
November 9, 2012
The City of North Richland Hills will host a Veterans Day Celebration on Friday, November 9, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. The program will feature remarks by Commander James Duermeyer.
Commander Duermeyer served in active duty in the Navy during the Vietnam War and later completed 20 years in the Navy Reserves, retiring as a Commander. He is a North Richland Hills resident and author of 3 novels including "Heroes in Obscurity," a memoir that pays tribute to a group of men who served on support auxiliary ships during the Vietnam War.
The Veterans Day Celebration will be held at Liberty Park located at 5825 Holiday Lane, which is the site of North Richland Hills Veterans Monument. The monument is a brick sculpture spanning 21-feet wide and 9-feet tall. It incorporates images of soldiers from our country’s various conflicts and symbolizes the spirit, sacrifice and commitment of U.S. veterans. The monument was dedicated in 2005.
In conjunction with the Veterans Day Celebration, one southbound lane of Holiday Lane will be closed from the intersections of Liberty Way to North Richland Boulevard from approximately 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., allowing pedestrians to cross safely from nearby neighborhoods to the park. In case of inclement weather on November 9, the Veterans Day Celebration will move to the City Council Chambers in City Hall, located at 7301 N.E. Loop 820.
The City of North Richland Hills invites you to join us for this special event honoring all who have served our country. For more information, please call 817-427-6620.
