For the first time since 2019, Ormond Beach held an in-person Veterans Day Celebration and Luncheon at the Ormond Beach Senior Center on Thursday, Nov. 9.
The event — which featured guest speakers, recognition of the military branches and entertainment — was held in a drive-thru format during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to be canceled last year due to Hurricane Nicole. Veterans were welcomed back by Mayor Bill Partington, who thanked them for their service.
"Veterans Day is a day to honor you, to thank you and to celebrate you," Partington said. "And I know for our Vietnam Vets, we want to welcome you home in a way that maybe didn't happen back when you first came home."
