Gatlinburg Veterans Day Celebration
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month has been revered dating back to 1918 as Americans honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
The City of Gatlinburg will salute our nation’s heroes, the Veterans, at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 11 with an appropriate Veterans Day Celebration on Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies Plaza. The event will recognize vets in attendance by branch of service and will feature music, words of inspiration, and much more.
Highlights of the celebration often include a flyover of a Tennessee Air National Guard KC-135 Stratotanker from the 134th Air Refueling Wing based in Knoxville, music from Gatlinburg-Pittman High School Band and local choirs, an American Bald Eagle appearance courtesy of American Eagle Foundation, and remarks from a distinguished guest speaker.
