Hope Hospice and community partners hosted a Veterans Day ceremony and celebration Wednesday at the Landa Park Dance Slab.

The event included remarks, poetry readings, a free lunch and live music from the Zach Walther Band.

"On Veterans Day, we honor every man and woman who has ever worn the uniform of our nation, those who have selflessly secured America's promises throughout our history," Hope Hospice Community Liaison Chris Sitton said.
