Several events in Lawrence, Douglas County and the surrounding areas are scheduled to celebrate Veterans Day. We’ll be posting photos from these events in our Veterans Day 2010 photo gallery.

Thursday morning, veterans gathered at the American Legion Post, 3408 W. Sixth Street, to publicly honor those who have served in the military.

On Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. Marine Corps celebrated its 235th birthday at the Dole Institute of Politics. Read about more Veterans Day events and office closures.
