As a military-friendly community, we have compiled several Veteran’s Day highlights to help you observe this important day:
Veteran’s Day Events
Florida West Coast Car Club hosts the Veteran’s Car Show at the Wall with music, food, and more. The $10 donation will benefit veterans. The show takes place November 10, from 9 am to noon, at the Charlotte County Justice Center, near the Vietnam Memorial Wall of Southwest Florida.
The Gulf Theater at the Military Heritage Museum is presenting Veterans Day with Bob Hope and the Andrew Sisters, on Friday, November 8, 2024. This USO-style show features "Bob Hope" (usually Bill Johnson) and stunning harmonies from The Victory Dolls that will remind you of The Andrews Sisters. Veterans always receive 20% off tickets, which are available on their website.
The Military Heritage Museum always marks the day with a ceremony including patriotic music, a Color Guard, and a Veteran tribute video. Special events include The Peace River Quilters presenting Quilts of Honor to veterans and prestigious guest speaker, Admiral Lawrence Chambers, US Navy (Retired). Other activities include Huey helicopter cockpit tours and the showing of an amazing documentary film. Regular admission prices apply for the museum but there is no cost to attend the ceremony.
