There will be a ceremony at the USS SLATER on November 11th. Bring your favorite veteran down to join in the celebration and come meet some of our favorites, the volunteers of USS SLATER. After the ceremony stay for a tour of the only Destroyer Escort afloat in America, walk the decks like sailors did during WWII, Korean, and Vietnam Wars.

Thank A Veteran
If you have a veteran in your family, a neighbor or a friend who is a veteran, please have your children write a thank you note, make a card , or color a Veterans day symbol like a Flag or a Poppy. This is a simple way to show our veterans how much we appreciate their service. Do something nice for them like invite them for a coffee or volunteer to take them out for a dinner.
