This year's Veterans Day ceremony will be at 2 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm St.
Besides the quilt gifting ceremony, Maj. Gen. William N. Reddel, Adjutant General of the New Hampshire National Guard will give a keynote address. Reddel, who took his position in May, has a three-decade long military career and previously commanded the 157th Aircraft Generation Squadron and the 133rd Air Refueling Squadron.
The ceremony will include a tribute to New Hampshire's soldiers who have died in service during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Krinsky said families of these fallen soldiers donated pictures that will be featured in a slideshow displayed on a large screen in the ballroom.
