The Lead
Veterans Day holds an unmistakable resonance across our neighborhoods, where nearly every block counts active-duty families, retired soldiers, and defense personnel. Today’s regional tributes center on the annual Veterans Day Motorcade and Ceremony, organized with American Legion Hardin Post 113. Vehicles assemble at American Legion Park at 9:45 AM before rolling out along Miles Street toward Ring Road at 10:15 AM. The motorcade arrives at the Elizabethtown Nature Park for the formal 11:00 AM ceremony at the Veterans Tribute, timed to the historic signing of the Armistice in 1918. Lieutenant Colonel Kat Stampfle, Deputy Provost Marshal for Fort Knox’s V Corps, will deliver the keynote address alongside performances by the Heart of Kentucky Chorus. Meanwhile, Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central remains open all day for families paying quiet respects across the hillside. The ceremony begins promptly at eleven, with lawn chairs recommended for open seating.
