The Combined Veterans Council of Berks County will be hosting the annual Veterans Day Ceremony in Veterans Grove, City Park, Reading.

Charles J. Adams III, U.S. Navy Veteran, will be the Guest Speaker. His Navy service was two years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Essex as a Radarman (now known as “Operations Specialist”) in the Combat Information Center with deployments as the flagship of the sixth fleet in the Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Caribbean Sea. The shipboard duty was flanked before and after by four years in the Naval Reserve.
