ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The city and the Friends of Rocky Versace will hold their annual Veterans Day ceremony at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Mount Vernon Recreation Center, 2701 Commonwealth Ave., where the names of Alexandria's 68 Vietnam War heroes are read aloud one by one.
The ceremony runs about an hour and is scheduled to end at 2:15 p.m. It is indoors and free.
The ceremony follows the same format each year: veterans stand when their branch is called, West Point graduates lay a wreath at a Versace statuette, and the names are read.
