Sailors and soldiers from Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station participated in a rescheduled Veterans Day celebration at Southern Oaks Care Center, Nov. 15.

Staff and students from Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station and Delta Company, 344th Military Intelligence Battalion joined more than 25 veterans currently residing at the center in a ceremony recognizing their military service.

In the opening remarks, retired Navy Chief Warrant Officer 5 Adolfo DeMontalvo mentioned the 100th anniversary of WWI Armistice Day, which was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to include all veterans from other conflicts around the world. 

During the celebration, service members delivered certificates of appreciation and served cake to the veterans in attendance. They also visited those who were unable to leave their rooms to deliver their certificates and thank them for their service. Following the ceremony, the group spent time socializing with the veterans and listening to stories of their time in the military.
