In addition to the unveiling, the event will include speeches from local leaders, a keynote address by Florida Agricultural Commissioner Wilton Simpson, and an appearance by the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association.
“Veterans Day holds a special place in the hearts of Americans, as it offers a solemn opportunity to express our profound gratitude and respect to those who have defended the principles upon which our nation was founded,” said Kirby Smith, Chairman of the Lake County Board of County Commissioners. “The Veterans Wall will stand as a lasting testament to their valor and sacrifice, reminding all who pass by of the debt of gratitude we owe to these heroes.”Â
