A special Veterans Day Salute will be held Sunday, November 11 at historic St. John's Church with free tickets being distributed at the front door starting at 1 pm.  This National Historic Landmark was the setting of the 1775 Second Virginia Convention and Patrick Henry's pivotal resolution to raise a militia to defend the colony.  The church, built in 1741, became a living memorial to liberty when Virginia's Founders including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, and Peyton Randolph gathered at the church to plan a course of action in March of 1775.  This was where Patrick Henry uttered his famous, "give me liberty or give me death" speech.  The special salute welcomes veterans and active duty as well as civillians, their friends and family for the patriotic concert of military anthems to each of the armed services.  Music will be played on the 1890s Adam Stein organ by Music Director and Choir Master Bob Copeland.  Then guests will be transported back in time to the Second Virginia Convention and see a revolution in the making.  This is free and open to the public, however seating is limited, so early arrival is suggested.  Donations are encouraged.  Parking is available on the streets surrounding the church.
