Veteran’s Day celebrations across Amador began Saturday night with a dinner honoring them at St. Katharine Drexel. The event also kicked off a new ministry for the church, Catholic Veterans of Amador County. The group plans outreach to veterans in the community through prayer and service. Additional plans include the building of a memorial wall for honoring those who’ve served in their community.
The City of Jackson is preparing for their annual Veteran’s Day Parade Wednesday, hosted by the American Legion Post 108. Starting at 10:00AM on Main Street Jackson. There is special importance placed on celebrating this year, coinciding with America’s 250th Birthday, according to organizer Jack Magee. A luncheon will follow at the Legion Hall, honoring the service men and women of our community and their sacrifice for our nation.
