PARIS — The annual Veterans Day program will begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. in the Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School.

Gil Turner, past post commander of the American Legion Post 72, will be this year’s master of ceremony. Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School Principal Ted Moccia will give the keynote address.

A special performance will be made by Vietnam veteran Al Pelletier who will sing his original song, “The Wisdom That We Gained.”

The high school band will play several selections including “God Bless America.”

The invocation and benediction will be given by Rev. Don Mayberry of the First Congregational Church in Paris.

The indoor program began about five years ago to accommodate the aging veteran population who found it hard to march in the parade,  Turner said.

Refreshments will be served following the ceremony.
