🎖️ Henderson opens veteran wall nominations
The Gist: Henderson is accepting nominations for veterans to be added to the city’s Veterans Memorial Wall ahead of the Nov. 7 Veterans Day Ceremony. Eligible veterans must have lived in Henderson while serving.
Why It Matters: If you know a veteran who called Henderson home during their service, this is a chance to help preserve their story. The memorial already honors more than 2,000 veterans, and new names will continue adding to the community’s tribute.
