The Spirit of Princeton Committee invites the community to honor the nation’s veterans, as well as those young men and women still actively serving in the military, by attending the Princeton Veterans’ Day ceremony, Friday, November 11 at 11 a.m. The ceremony will take place at the All Wars Monument, located at the intersection of Mercer and Nassau Streets.

The program will feature keynote speaker Roger Williams, Secretary of the Princeton Battlefield Society. He will talk about the importance of honoring all veterans — including those who fought in the American Revolution.

The program also will include participation from: Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, Spirit of Princeton Co-founder Ray Wadsworth, Princeton community youth, state, county and municipal government leaders, and the area’s active and retired military personnel. The Marine Corps League, Detachment 207 from Trenton and the Princeton Police Department Color Guard will preside over the program and provide a color guard and rifle salute.

The commemorative wreath will be placed at the memorial by Spirit of Princeton co-founder and former Princeton Borough Councilman Ray Wadsworth. The Blawenburg Band and a bugler will provide the music for the ceremony.

The Spirit of Princeton Committee, a group of volunteers devoted to inspiring participation in community civic events, also produces the Memorial Day Parade and the Flag Day Ceremony.
