Jacksonville’s Tom Piete and Jack Berger, both of whom are military veterans, are once again sponsoring a special Veterans Day service on Tuesday, November 11 at 1:00pm sharp on the steps of the Historic Courthouse, near the corner of California and 5th Streets.

The event will last approximately one hour and plenty of chairs will be provided for seating on the lawn. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be moved inside. Everyone in the community is invited to attend and is encouraged to bring American flags to wave proudly in honor of our veterans! Coffee and light refreshments will be provided, as well.

The schedule of events includes an address by Jacksonville Mayor Paul Becker and presentations by the Commander of the local VFW and Veterans Administration.

Piete and Berger are board members of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce with extensive active and post-military service.
