Description

Honoring all Veteran's at Gulfport Veteran's Park on Veterans Day with Rev. Kimberley Harrell leading a prayer and Lindy Romez playing taps. Join Unity of Gulfport's Rev. Kimberley Harrell and Lindy Romez at Gulfport Veterans Park on Thursday 11/11 at 1:11pm to honor all Veterans with prayer, message and the playing of taps. Remembering each day that "ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL". All are welcome. Thank you for your service. This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" in order to account for all veterans in all wars. We celebrate and honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
