Tickets available for Veterans Day breakfast

Tickets are still available for this year’s Veterans Day Breakfast and Ceremony. The event takes place Friday, Nov. 11, at the Ohio Army National Guard’s Delaware Readiness Center, 1120 S. Houk Road in Delaware, next to the Delaware YMCA. This is the first year the Veterans Day event will take place at the National Guard Center.

Tickets are free for veterans and active military personnel in Delaware County, while guests can purchase tickets for $8 each. All attendees must reserve a ticket in advance by calling 740-833-2011. Tickets can either be picked up before Nov. 11 at the Delaware County Veterans Service Office, which is located at 149 N. Sandusky St., Delaware, or at the event.

Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m. and is followed by a commemorative ceremony and awards presentation at 9:45 a.m. This year’s event honors the rich history and the many contributions of The National Guard of the United States. This reserve military force has played an integral role in protecting U.S. citizens both at home and abroad since its formation in 1933.

Outstanding Veteran awards also will be presented, with music provided by the Buckeye Valley Alumni Band. This year’s honorees include veterans Dwight Cimino, Joseph Parisi and Joseph DiGenova. Receiving the Friend of the Veterans award will be Donna Evans.
