The City of Fishers and the Fishers Armed Services Commission will host the community’s annual Veterans Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, in the Theater at Fishers Municipal Center, 1 Municipal Drive.

The event is free and open to the public, with a live stream available on the City of Fishers’ YouTube channel. The ceremony honors local veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.

This year’s guest speaker is Colonel Aaron P. Gillison, Sr., U.S. Army (Ret.), who also retired from the U.S. Department of Defense as a Senior Executive Service (SES) civilian at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) in Indianapolis. Gillison has more than 43 years of combined civilian and military service, including leadership and financial management positions at the Pentagon and abroad in Egypt, Korea, and Bosnia.

During his career, Gillison oversaw more than 3,000 employees providing financial services to the Army, Air Force, and 26 Defense Agencies worldwide. His military honors include the Legion of Merit, Airborne and Air Assault Badges, and the Joint Specialty Officer designation. He is also a Fishers resident.

The ceremony will feature a performance by the White River Brass Troupe, and veterans in attendance will have the opportunity to participate in a pinning ceremony recognizing their service.
