Veterans Day Ceremony – Yorktown, Nov. 11
“Letters from War” is the continuing theme of the annual Veterans Day ceremony held in Historic Yorktown. Gather with members of the York County Historical Committee as they pay tribute to those who are serving and have served our nation in times of war.
In remembrance of Veterans Day 2013, the Historical Committee will observe the occasion with a memorial service in the Board Room, Second Floor, York Hall, 301 Main Street, Yorktown, on Monday, November 11. The service will begin at 12 noon and will include a tolling of the bell, presentation of the colors, singing of the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, laying of honors, and “Taps.” There will also be a special recognition of all Veterans of our Armed Forces.
This year’s program will be a presentation about veterans from York County – the stories and photographs of the men and women who have served our nation in the various Armed Services throughout our nation’s history.
Immediately following the ceremony, musician Timothy Seaman will present a colorful and informative tribute to the music of the Civil War period. Mr. Seaman, internationally known, Williamsburg artist, has thrilled audiences for decades with adventurous music from his 15 CDs on Virginia themes, highlighting his uniquely expressive approach to the hammered dulcimer, flute, whistle, mountain dulcimer and many other instructions. Mr. Seaman’s appearance is presented by the York County Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee.
