The Olney Senior Cub Center celebrated veterans Thursday, Nov. 11, with a full program that included lunch and entertainment. The program began at 11 a.m. and ended after 1 p.m., but many guests remained at the Center to fellowship with one another.

The month of November is a special time for the nation’s veterans. While Memorial Day honors fallen soldiers and service people, Veterans Day, which takes place each November, is an opportunity to commemorate the efforts of all who have been in the armed forces, with a special emphasis on living veterans. While people are encouraged to thank veterans throughout the year, Veterans Day is a particularly poignant time to show your appreciation for the men and women of the military.
