The annual American Legion Post 111 Veterans Day ceremony at the war memorial in Mapleview Cemetery in Marion will begin at the traditional time of 11 a.m. Tuesday. District 4 state Rep. Lynn Bechler of Marion will be the keynote speaker. If inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved indoors to Fohs Hall.
Also Tuesday, veterans and the public are invited to celebrate Veterans Day at Rocket Arena beginning at 9 a.m. This week's edition of The Crittenden Press incorrectly gave the location as the middle school gym.
There will be no keynote speaker at Rocket Arena, but the program is designed to honor both living and deceased veterans.
World War II veteran William E. Clarke will be presented the Knight of the Legion of Honor medal, which is awarded through the French government to pay tribute to those who fought to liberate France and western Europe during the war.
