At the Veterans' Memorial in front of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center, the annual remembrance under kind weather conditions.

As part of the ceremony, there was a lowering of the colors by the Wicomico County JROTC, ringing of the Red Knights Memorial Bell, branch prayers, and a volley of arms by the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office.

Veterans, as well as their families, were recognized during the ceremony, including a special family tribute to Gold Star Mothers.
