Honor all the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces this Veterans Day.
Join the city of Crown Point and American Legion Post 20 in celebrating Veterans Day at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 11, at the rotunda inside of the historic Lake County Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Square.
“The city looks forward to honoring the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice by answering the call to serve,” Crown Point Mayor David Uran said.
“Taking a few moments to say, ‘Thank you,’ is the least we can do for those who have served and continue to serve.”
Previously, Uran signed an executive order allowing full-time city employees who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces to take a day off.
The executive order, signed in 2019, allows those employees to request off work "at any time, for any reason," as long as their supervisor approves it. In the past, those employees were given the rest of Veterans Day off after the city’s ceremony.
Kevin Dvorak, commander of American Legion Post 20, said Post 20 has honored veterans since its inception and invited the community to keep with its longstanding tradition at 10:30 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 11.
“Please join us following our ceremony at Post 20 for cake and lunch to be held for all veterans. The community is welcome,” Dvorak said.
