Flagler County, Bunnell and Palm Coast will host a blended Veterans Day Ceremony at the Flagler County Government Services building on Nov. 11.
The ceremony will take place after the second annual Veterans Day Parade, which is organized by Bunnell Police Chief David Brannon. The parade will begin at the Coquina City Hall in Bunnell and travel east on Moody Boulevard, ending at the Government Services Building where the traditional ceremony will begin, a county press release said.
Retired U.S. Naval Captain James Randall “Randy” Stapleford will be the grand marshal of the parade and will share a few words at the ceremony. The “Flagler County Colonel Gary E. DeKay Veteran of the Year” award recipient will also be announced at the ceremony.
“This will be a truly wonderful day because of the partnerships with our cities, county veterans, and our residents,” said Veterans Services Officer David Lydon. “On behalf of the Flagler County Veterans Advisory Council, we would like to welcome everyone to attend.”
A picnic lunch for veterans and their families will immediately follow the ceremony. Mike's Smokin' BBQ is providing 500 meals, which will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
