Augusta is scheduled on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, to hear the bells of its churches tolling at 11 a.m., 11 times as they honor all those who served.
The theme for Veterans Day 2021 is “Honoring All Who Served.” All veterans make a sacrifice to serve their country, whether physically, emotionally, or by being away from their loved ones.
Also notable of this year’s Veterans Day is The Unknown Soldier of World War 1, which will not be forgotten on the 100th anniversary of the original 1921 entombment ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery.
