America' Pass and Veterans Day Programs



WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Colonial Williamsburg
honors the sacrifices and dedication of U.S. veterans, active duty military

Day programs on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

On Veterans Day, a military parade and ceremony honoring America's veterans
will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Capitol. All veterans of service in America's
armed forces are invited to participate. 

Colonial Williamsburg offers special free admission passes to active duty
military, guard and reservists, retirees, veterans and their dependents Nov.
