The City of Delray Beach is happy to announce that its Veterans Day Ceremony, which was canceled due to Hurricane Nicole, will take place at 10 AM on Dec. 11 at the Delray Beach Community Center. We will proudly pay tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces.
The ceremony will also now be a part of the 17th Annual Project Holiday, which ships requested items to the United States Military service members who are unable to come home for the holidays. Project Holiday brings the Delray Beach community together to help those who serve! Please do not submit any canned foods, family-sized items, pump dispensers, aerosols, chocolate, glass, or alcohol. Donations are being accepted from Oct.21 to Dec. 9.
