Veteran's Day Celebration
Mansfield to Honor Veterans
After several years of hosting a “Veteran’s
Recognition” at the Mansfield Senior Center, staff and community volunteers
have decided to move this event to the gym at the Mansfield Community Center to
accommodate up to 300 veterans and their spouses. “The Celebration of the Living Veterans”
luncheon is scheduled for 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM on Friday, November 9, 2012.
Members of the planning committee have been contacting Mansfield business owners to seek sponsors of “The Celebration of the Living Veterans” to cover the entire cost of this event, and have been successful in raising the funds to hold this luncheon. The intent is to honor
Veterans of all wars, in a manner that requires only their presence. In addition to the luncheon, there will be a
formal ceremony that is designed to recognize all of Mansfield’s veterans. Parking will be available at the Community
Center, and transportation will also be provided from the Mansfield Senior
Center. If you would like additional
