Hershey, Neb. - The P.R. Martin American Legion Post 279 in Hershey will host its annual Veterans Day Program on Monday, November 11, at the Hershey American Legion Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m., with a meal at 6:30, and the program beginning at 7 p.m.
This year’s event will feature guest speaker Miss Nebraska, McKenzie Gregory, along with special musical guests to close out the evening. The community is invited to attend and honor the men and women who have served our country.
The P.R. Martin Post 279 has been a cornerstone of the Hershey community for more than a century. The original American Legion Hall was dedicated in 1924, serving as both a veterans’ gathering place and a hub for community events. Throughout the years, the building has hosted celebrations, fundraisers, dances, and meetings — all while preserving the stories and service of local veterans.
Today, the Legion continues its mission of supporting veterans and their families, promoting patriotism, and strengthening the community through service and remembrance. The annual Veterans Day program remains one of its most cherished traditions, bringing together multiple generations to recognize those who have worn the uniform.
All are welcome to attend this year’s program, enjoy a meal, and take part in honoring Hershey’s veterans and their legacy of service.
