Veterans Day celebration at Little Flanders Field

ALPENA, Mich. — The annual ceremony for the Veterans of Foreign Wars is coming up and this year there’s a special treat from Northland Credit Union.

VFW Post Commander, Tammy Doffek, said it is important for people to come out and honor our veterans.  She said supporting them is a good way to show that we understand and appreciate the sacrifices they’ve made for us.  Doffek adds that with all of the divide in the country, Veterans Day is a good time for the community to come together.

Northland’s Marketing Director, Matt Duthler, said veterans are near and dear to their credit union because Northland began at Wurtsmith Airforce Base.

The ceremony takes place at Little Flanders Field on November 11, at 11 a.m. where Northland will be treating everyone to a boxed lunch prepared by JJ’s.  Attendees are welcome to take their lunch with them or eat it safely inside the VFW building.
