Formerly Armistice Day, Nov. 11 commemorates the anniversary of the 1918 peace agreement that ended World War I. It’s historically significant that this day is observed on the eleventh hour of the eleventh month of the eleventh day to commemorate when the guns fell silent at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918.
Our local cemetery, Happy Homestead, is the final resting place for more than 700 veterans. American Legion Post 795 members will place American flags on their grave sites to honor them this Veterans Day. Interested volunteers are asked to meet at the cemetery to place the flags on Monday, Nov. 10, beginning at 10 a.m. and on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m. to remove the flags. Happy Homestead is located at 1261 Johnson Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150.
For more information on the Veterans Day ceremony, contact American Legion Post 795 Commander, Tom Millham at 530-308-5215 or tmillham@jps.net.
