HOLLAND, MI (92 7 WHTC, Nov. 10, 2026) – The semi-annual holiday to remember and honor those who have served this country in military service comes on Wednesday.
Veterans Day on every November 11th is for current and retired soldiers, sailors, marines, pilots, and supporting personnel, just as Memorial Day on the fourth Monday in May is for those who have died while in service.
Many Lakeshore school districts will stage assemblies and/or breakfasts for community veterans, including Holland, Holland Christian, West Ottawa, Zeeland, Saugatuck, and Fennville, with Hamilton having such an occasion last Friday. When students come up to those who have served and ask what it means to be a veteran, the response by retired Holland VFW Post Commander Mike Martin, a Marine who served during the Vietnam conflict, may be one which reflects those of all who wore the military uniform for this country.
We’ll bring you the 89th Holland High School Veterans Day Assembly from the Dutch Dome on Wednesday at 10 AM on 92 7 WHTC.
