Honoring Our Veterans 11-11-11

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
-- Elmer Davis

The members of the Historical Society of Harford County and various volunteers from Bel Air and Harford County have worked tirelessly over recent months to create a celebration that is truly worthy of the sacrifice and dedication of Harford's veterans. In the Seamaiden's humble opinion, they have succeeded admirably. I only wish my two WWII veteran grandfathers were still here to take part in the festivities.

Festivities in downtown Bel Air today include a parade at 10 a.m. and the rededication of the Bel Air Armory at 2 p.m. In addition, a two-day exhibit, including maps, uniforms and memorabilia from every major conflict dating back to the American Revolution, will open at the Bel Air Armory. Many items have never before been exhibited to the public.
