The City of Tamarac invites residents and visitors to its annual Veterans Day Ceremony to pay tribute to veterans’ service, courage, and patriotism.

The event will be held on Monday, Nov. 11, at 10:30 a.m., at Veterans’ Memorial Park, located at 7825 Southgate Blvd., and is free to the public.

This year’s ceremony features the Tamarac Fire Rescue Honor Guard presenting the colors and Chantal Deshaies performing the national anthem. Local officials will deliver remarks before keynote speaker Lieutenant Commander Adonica M. Johnson, a distinguished U.S. Navy veteran, takes the stage.

Lt. Cmdr. Johnson enlisted in the Navy in 1996 and has since served on several ships, including the USS John C. Stennis, where she deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001.

With a career spanning almost three decades, her service includes assignments on the USS Ronald Reagan, USS Boxer, USS Makin Island, and USS Abraham Lincoln. Lt. Cmdr. Johnson now serves in the Intelligence Plans and Strategy office at the United States Southern Command in Doral, Florida.

A significant part of the ceremony will be unveiling the newest installment on Tamarac’s Veterans Honor Wall, which celebrates 100 hometown heroes for their service. Additionally, the Tamarac Veterans Affairs Committee will be on-site collecting donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, socks, and hand towels to assist homeless veterans in need.

Parking for attendees will be available at Veterans’ Memorial Park. City of Tamarac offices will be closed on Nov. 11 during Veterans Day.
