Communities across the area will pause on Tuesday to honor those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces as part of Veterans Day observances.

In Taylorville, a special Veterans Day ceremony will take place at one o’clock Tuesday afternoon. The event will include the dedication of Wall Number Seven and the new Space Program Flag. The wall was purchased by Gold Star Families in honor of their loved ones who gave their lives in service to the nation.

Pastor Chad Zueck, who is also a veteran, will be among the speakers, along with members of the Gold Star Families group, who will share what it means to be part of that community.

Organizers are inviting the public to attend and help pay tribute to all veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.
