This Thursday, people will gather at the Brighton Veterans Memorial in Buckland Park at 2pm to commemorate Veterans Day, or Armistice Day as 11/11/1918 was originally called before becoming a national holiday.
Many memorable commemorations have taken place over the years. As seen in Edward R. Crone Jr. (aka Billy Pilgrim) remembered at the Brighton Veterans Memorial in Buckland Park, last year Matthew Bashore spoke about the marker dedicated to Edward R. Crone Jr. who died in WWII.
