Help honor our veterans by attending the Veterans Day ceremony at Salina Area Technical College on Nov. 11.

Salina Area Technical College and the Kansas National Guard’s Regional Training Institute in Salina are hosting a Veterans Day flag-raising ceremony starting at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 11 on the Salina Tech campus. The ceremony will be followed by a free breakfast for active duty members of the military, veterans, and their families.

A color guard from the Regional Training Institute will raise the flag in front of Salina Tech’s Building A, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, singing of the National Anthem, and firing of a ceremonial cannon.

This will be the sixth year Salina Tech and the Regional Training Institute have hosted such an event.

While the outside ceremony is open to everyone, the breakfast following is only for active duty members of the military, veterans, and their families. Reservations for the breakfast MUST be made in advance and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited.
