Veteran’s Day 2021

“11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”

Today on Veterans Day, we thank the many Veterans of our great country for the service and sacrifice made for our freedom.

Come to the Veteran’s Day Parade in Inverness on Tuesday (11th/11th/11th) at 10:00am and ending on the 11^th hour.  This is one of our country’s largest Veteran’s Day Parades and is always well attended and involves many of our students and schools.

I want to pause and take a personal moment to thank just a few of the Veterans in my family for our freedom, some who has now passed and others still living;
