Gov. Jack Dalrymple is encouraging North Dakotans to observe Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, by honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans, those currently serving at home and abroad, and their families through ceremonies and patriotic activities, and by displaying the American and North Dakota flags.

“On Veterans Day and every day, we recognize the generations of heroes who rose to the challenge when their country called and performed extraordinary acts in the name of freedom and democracy,” said Gov. Dalrymple. “We honor those who left their homes and their families to serve a greater cause, and by doing so, changed the course of history for us all. For that, we will always be grateful, and because of that, we will always be free.”

The Governor and First Lady Betsy Dalrymple will honor North Dakota’s veterans and service members by attending a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday, November 11, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Russell Reid Auditorium of the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck.
