Florence Veterans Park will be one of 66 sites nationwide — and one of two in South Carolina — that will be a Veterans Association recognized site for its Veterans Day observance.

Each year, the Veterans Day National Committee — comprised of representatives from nearly 50 organizations dedicated to serving and supporting America’s Veterans — plays host to the annual Veterans Day observance at Arlington National Cemetery. On Nov. 11, the ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. with the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and continue inside the Memorial Amphitheater with a parade of colors by veterans’ organizations and remarks from dignitaries.
