VFW Post 5189 presents Phil Horton as guest speaker for the Vicksburg Veterans Day Program beginning at 11 a.m. on November 11, 2025, at Sunset Lake Park. Mr. Horton is a Korean War veteran.
The program is sponsored by the Village of Vicksburg and VFW Post 5189, with assistance from Scout Troops 251 and 251G. The ceremony will begin with the Vicksburg High School Chamber Singers singing the National Anthem. Scout Troop 251 will present the colors of each of the armed forces to each unit’s fight song. Fifth-grade students from Sunset Lake Elementary will also attend, and while the audience recites the Pledge of Allegiance, the students will sign the words—something they have practiced in class. The program will end with the rifle squad firing a three-shot volley. Two members of the Vicksburg High School Band will play Taps.
