Community members are preparing to gather for the 27th Annual Veterans Day Celebration on November 11th.

The event will take place at the Sampson County Agri-Exposition Center and is dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of all veterans.

Sponsored by several local organizations, the ceremony stands as a significant tradition in the county. It provides a formal opportunity for the public to show gratitude and respect for those who have served in the armed forces.
