Vets getting thanks at USS Cod Submarine Memorial
August
5 [that’s this coming Saturday]
For
the veterans in your community, here’s an announcement via Brian Albrecht at Cleveland.com:
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A day of thanks
will be offered August 5, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the USS Cod Submarine Memorial,
1089 East Ninth Street, featuring free tours for veterans and their families,
music and service information.
Visitors are
encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and use the submarine's newly installed
picnic grove, and spend the day visiting the other nearby attractions of
Cleveland's North Coast Harbor.
In addition,
veterans can visit information displays set up by private and governmental
organizations that provide services to veterans and their families.
The city of
Cleveland is providing free parking to veterans attending the event. A brief
welcome program and deck gun salute is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
"A
beautiful day in August beats a dreary November day in Cleveland for
celebrating the service of our veterans," said Cod Director Paul Farace.
The Memorial's
phone is (216) 566-8770.
