VETERANS DAY CEREMONY
COROZAL CEMETERY SUNDAY 11 NOVEMBER 2007 0900
This years ceremony will be unique compared to past ceremonies. We have decided to honor all World War Two (WWII) veterans rather than just one person. I need your help to get the message out to as many of our WWII veterans as possible. Any WWII veterans who would like to participate and be honored are encouraged to do so. Here is what I need from those that would like to participate:
Name, rank, dates served, campaigns(s) and highest decorations to include the Purple Heart. Since all of this information has to fit on one page we might have to edit to make it fit depending on how many honorees we have.
There will be reserved seating for the veteran and his wife. Ambassador Eaton will make the remarks and Col. Pete Oliver; Defense Attaché will recognize the guests of honor and read the Presidential Proclamation.
If you have anyone who would like to participate please ask them to contact Ed Lesesne at 232-5163 or 6669-4003 or send the information to edlesesne@hotmail.com
Your cooperation in this most important ceremony will be greatly appreciated
