November 11, Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I. But, in 1954, Congress replaced the word "Armistice" with "Veterans," and November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars, such as the World War II veteran pictured, for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.  
 The Owego Kiwanis Memorial Flag Pole will be formerly dedicated on Veteran's Day, Monday, November 11, at 12 Noon. The flag pole is located in a grassy area at Exit 65, on Route 17C, across from McDonald's.
