The proclamation. The November 4, 2025 regular meeting, item IV.1: "Veterans Day Proclamation - Larry Shatteen, VFW Post 10825 Commander and Bobby Godwin American Legion Post 90 Commander." Chairman Bennett "recognized November 11 as Veterans Day, calling it a reminder of the freedoms secured through the sacrifices of American service members - particularly noting that the meeting coincided with Election Day. The proclamation honored all who have served and encouraged citizens to recognize veterans for their role in preserving peace and democracy at home and abroad." Shatteen "announced that this year's Veterans Day Ceremony will be held at the Averitt Center, featuring Major General Randall Simmons as keynote speaker, followed by a luncheon at the American Legion"; Godwin "thanked the community for its continued support, emphasizing that 'we can't take care of veterans without the public's help.'"
