HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Veterans Day is around the corner, and Huntsville is ready to honor its heroes during Veterans Week from Nov. 1 to Nov. 11.
Mayor Tommy Battle has issued a proclamation to mark the week, encouraging residents to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces.
“There isn’t a community in the country that admires and respects its veterans more than Huntsville,” said Battle. “Beginning today through Nov. 11, we will observe this special week by participating in ceremonies, recognitions, and events designed to show our veterans how much we appreciate their courage and sacrifice.”
Veterans Week will culminate on Monday, Nov. 11, with a Veterans Day Breakfast followed by a parade in downtown Huntsville.
“As a community, as a country, we acknowledge the immense sacrifices veterans have made for the greater good,” Battle added. “This includes time spent away from loved ones, the physical and mental challenges that come with military service, and the responsibility of protecting and defending the greatest country in the world.”
Residents are invited to join the celebrations and show their appreciation for those who have served.
