Citizen Band Potawatomi Veterans Day Event

"On Friday, Nov. 10, the Cultural Heritage Center will host a Veterans' Day celebration for Citizen Potawatomi members and veterans from other tribes. The event is expected to fill the facility's Long Room, as it did in 2005.

The Veterans Day celebration will begin at 11 a.m. The highlight will be unveiling of the "Veterans' Wall of Honor." Located in the Long Room, the "Wall" features video reminiscences by CPN veterans and exhibits of their memorabilia - everything from uniforms and photos to letters home and weapons.

Jon Boursaw, Cultural Heritage Center director, emphasized that it is not too late for Citizen Potawatomi veterans to provide items and information for the "Wall of Honor." Boursaw said, "We would be honored to have any Citizen Potawatomi veterans offer their military artifacts, uniform items, documents and other items for display. It will never be too late to do so."
