Veterans Day event Saturday

The Candler Field Museum in Williamson will hold its fifth annual Veterans Day Celebration Saturday, Nov. 12, featuring military vehicles, helicopters and airplanes, re-enactors, military memorabilia, a military band and special speakers.’This year we’ll host another great event to recognize the contributions of all veterans of our armed services, past and present,’ said museum founder Ron Alexander, a Vietnam veteran who feels recognizing veterans should be a top priority for all citizens who enjoy this country’s freedoms. ‘A majority of pilots are usually veterans and a lot of us here at Peach State Aerodrome are veterans of the Vietnam War, so we have special respect for Veterans Day and making sure all veterans are properly acknowledged and recognized.’
