Approximately 130 people attended the Veterans Day WWI Centennial Commemoration and Dedication on a cold Sunday morning on November 11, 2018.

At 11:00am, the time the Armistice went into effect 100 years ago, Norma Eckard, president of Friends of Fort Caswell Rifle Range began the program.

The final program and script is available here for display or download: 2018 Veterans Day Ceremony Program and Transcript (Updated Dec. 10, 2018).

Thank you for those who attended and the marvelous supporters and donors!

 

The Roll Calls

The Roll Calls were assembled using the names of veterans who have been honored with a donation. Roll Calls will continue during future ceremonies. Following the completion of the calling of those veterans who have been honored, the remaining veterans will be called.
