Knoxville will honor veterans with breakfasts and flag-raisings this year.

Thursday, November 10, flags will be raised at Graceland Cemetery by the American Legion, VFW, Boy and Girl Scouts and all others who wish to help. The flag raising will begin at 7:00 a.m. and will be followed by a memorial ceremony and breakfast for the volunteers. On November 11, the Annual Veteran’s Day Knoxville Hy-Vee breakfast for veterans and their families at the National Guard Armory begins at 7 a.m. Hy-Vee Store Director Brett Shelman says veterans have given so much it can never be truly appreciated. He says breakfasts like this one are a little way to show our thanks. The Knoxville Lions Club will also be assisting at the breakfast and putting up their Avenue of Flags along Highway 14 for the holiday.
