91大黄鸭鈥檚 Remembrance Day ceremony has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
While initially slated to take place as a scaled-down gathering at the 91大黄鸭 Cenotaph in City Park on Nov. 11, the Legion decided to move the ceremony inside out of an abundance of caution.
Not wanting to forgo the city鈥檚 100th annual ceremony, president of the local Legion John Sokolowski said veterans will lay wreaths as planned at 9 a.m. followed by a small, invite-only ceremony at the Legion.
鈥淲e鈥檒l still count it,鈥� he said.
Sokolowski said it鈥檚 disappointing to miss out on what would鈥檝e been a special event, but 鈥渨e鈥檙e living in interesting times.鈥�
鈥淲e do the best we can given all the things we鈥檙e allowed to do.鈥�
Although the usual ceremony won鈥檛 be running, Sokolowski still encourages people to observe a moment of silence and remember in their own way this year.
