Veterans Day is dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served in the United States military services. Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, Veterans Day as we recognize in the United States is marked on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Over one-hundred years ago, in 1918, hostilities on the Western Front of World War I ceased. On this day, countries around the world recognize this day. It is more than a date on a calendarit is a solemn promise to remember.
A Veterans Day Ceremony will be held at the Veteran’s Remembrance Park Teague (VRPT) on November 11, 2025. We will remember and honor our local heroes who served in military service for our country, and ultimately for our freedoms. The VRPT is located on US Highway 84 in Teague, Texas. We will start with gathering at 9:30—a time to acknowledge the veterans recognized at the VRPT; visit with friends and family; and share memories of those passed. At 10:00 a.m., the ceremony will begin. Ralph Billings, Retired Freestone County Sheriff, will be our Guest Speaker. It is will be a time to reflect on the veterans throughout our past, and present who have served, fought, sacrificed, and died. We hope you will be able to join us.
