(La Porte, IN) - The City of La Porte will have its annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Civic Auditorium tomorrow.

 

The featured speaker will be Congresswoman Jackie Walorski. Walorski is a member of the House Committee on Armed Services. 

 

Other highlights of the ceremony will include patriotic songs performed by La Porte High School music students and the traditional gun salute and playing of the taps. The program begins at 10:30 AM.  Light refreshments will be served to begin at 9 AM. 

 

The Mayor’s Veterans Committee has sponsored the ceremony for about the past 30-years.

 

La Porte County Commissioner Rich Mrozinski is a longtime member of the committee and former chairman of the National Legislative Committee for the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

 

He called Walorski a friend to veterans and someone he always tried to visit on his twice-a-year veterans’ affairs-related visits to Washington D.C.

 

“I almost every time would meet with Jackie. She was always doing great things for veterans. She’s just a really hard worker,” Mrozinski said.
