Students from the elementary and high schools will sing patriotic songs and recite poems to honor veterans.
The ceremony will also include the laying of a wreath by members of VFW Post 2145, a gun salute and posting of colors presented by members of American Legion Post 66, and the playing of “Taps” by a North Clarion student.
The North Clarion Veterans Memorial was built and dedicated in 2001, making this the 20th anniversary of the memorial. It contains bricks with names inscribed on them of local deceased veterans.
