“Some view today as a day off, but it is much bigger than that in reality. As Americans, we can celebrate this day how we choose as one of our many freedoms. For the rest of us here, however, it is more than that. Today is one of remembrance of our nation’s Veterans,” Eubank said.
“For nearly a century, we have celebrated Veterans Day on the anniversary of the armistice that ended the fighting along the Western Front in World War I. On the 11th hour…of the 11th day…of the 11th month…the fighting of World War I ended in 1918.”
In his remarks Eubank also gave credence to the importance of serving in the military and what it means to be a veteran.
“A Veteran is a person who served as a member of our military in the defense of this great nation. Some served in combat, some during peacetime, some left never to return – making the ultimate sacrifice, others – although fortunate enough to return - returned scarred and broken; yet all served this great country, honorably and in uniform,” Eubank said.
The 27th Annual Veterans Day parade concluded at Veterans Memorial Park, which was followed by a short ceremony. Addressing this years Veterans Day ceremony was Maj. Gen. Christopher L. Eubank, Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM)’s commanding general, addressed a crowd of more than 400 veterans, active military and community members.

“Our history is filled with countless individuals who answered the nation’s call to arms in defense of a young country.”
“Today is not a memorial,” said Eubank as he reminded everyone about the true meaning of Veterans Day.
“It is a day of celebration and remembrance. However, as we end and continue to go about our day, let us not forget. Remember the fallen and their families, keep them in your thoughts and prayers,” Eubank said.

Eubank not only praised the many veterans attending the days festivities but also gave credit to those, who support our veterans.
“For our family members here today, who have or had a loved one who has donned the uniform - our military may be a resilient force, but it is your support that strengthens us.”
“I want to thank you for sharing your loved ones in the service of this great nation. Without you and your loving support, our military and veterans would not be as great as they are today. Thank you,” Eubank said.
