Some answered the call by putting on a uniform. All of us can answer the call by showing up.

Behind every veteran is a story of service—of responsibility carried, sacrifices made, and people who stood beside them. On November 14, we have an opportunity to show our veterans that their service still matters to the community they call home.

Join us for the 2026 Ellis County Veterans Celebration, presented by Americase, as we honor “The Many Faces of Service” and look toward America’s next 250 years.

You don’t have to be a veteran to be part of this day. Bring your family. Invite a neighbor. Help someone get there. Share this invitation. Your presence helps make this a community’s tribute.
