YORKTOWN, Texas — Veterans, community members, and local youth gathered at the DeWitt County Veterans Center on Veterans Day to recognize the service and sacrifices of America’s military veterans while raising funds to support the center’s ongoing mission.
Among those participating in the celebration was DeWitt County District Attorney Brian Cromeens, who served as auctioneer for the event’s fundraising activities. The auction helped generate support for the Veterans Center, which serves as a gathering place for local veterans to enjoy fellowship, community connections, and recognition for their service.
A highlight of the event was the participation of members of the Yorktown 4-H Chapter, who assisted with the day’s ceremonies. Their involvement underscored the importance of passing on the values of patriotism, service, and civic responsibility to younger generations.
Organizers expressed appreciation for the volunteers, supporters, and community members who helped make the event a success. The gathering served as both a tribute to veterans and a reminder of the community’s continued commitment to honoring those who have served in the nation’s armed forces.
As Veterans Day was observed across the country, DeWitt County residents came together in Yorktown to celebrate the men and women whose dedication and sacrifice have helped protect the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans.
