Due to the current construction at Veterans Park, the American Legion Post 75 Honor Guard will perform Taps at the Post instead on November 11, 2025 at 11AM.The tradition of sounding Taps on November 11 of each year stems from the fact that this date was once known as Armistice Day commemorating the cessation of all major hostilities of World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. Armistice Day became a legal Federal holiday in 1938 when Congress passed a bill declaring that each November 11 “shall be dedicated to the cause of world peace and …hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day.” The holiday was officially re-named Veterans Day by Act of Congress in 1954, and President Eisenhower asked citizens to observe the day by remembering and honoring the sacrifices of the servicemen of all America’s wars, and through re-dedication to the task of promoting an enduring peace.
