Veterans Day 2024 at Veterans Park in Bethesda (Photos)


Veterans Day 2024 saw the annual placement of wreaths around the veterans' memorial at Veterans Park in downtown Bethesda. Each one was sponsored by a community organization or elected official. Individuals and groups represented in the park included the Bethesda Urban Partnership, the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce, the Bethesda Historical Society, and Montgomery County Councilmember Andrew Friedson. The memorial was erected in honor of Bethesda and Chevy Chase residents who perished in the major military conflicts between World War I and the Iraq War.

You mean the CEX was not present at this annual event?

really enjoyed listening to the band, respectful and well done.. The only shame was the construction on the building on Woodmont Avenue still drilling away and droning out the band..

The event was organized by five Mongomery chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution with music by B-CC students and a great speech on the new Space Force! Come join us annually on Nov 11 at 11 am!
