Fort William Henry invites the community to join its annual Veterans Day Commemoration at the Field of Flags on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 10:30 a.m. The Field of Flags display is on the hotel’s South Lawn at 48 Canada Street, Lake George. The ceremony will include a wreath-laying and musket volley salute by reenactors to honor those who have served the country.
More than 11,000 American flags form this year’s Field of Flags. Each flag represents an individual with a personal connection to military service from colonial times to the present day.
A Field of Flags luncheon will follow the ceremony at the Fort William Henry Conference Center. The luncheon buffet menu includes butternut squash soup, garden salad, garlic bread, penne pasta with marinara or Alfredo sauce, meatballs marinara, chicken marsala, chef’s choice of vegetable, and assorted desserts. Luncheon tickets are $22 per person. Net proceeds will benefit Adirondack Vet House. Adirondack Vet House in Glens Falls is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that provides a longer-term residence for homeless veterans in Glens Falls. The program includes employment training, financial literacy education, nutrition information, and other services.
The Veterans Day Luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are available for purchase online at the Fort William Henry website.
