On Air Today: Veterans Day 2026 in Orange County

Veterans Day is Wednesday, November 11, and Orange County is hosting its annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Orange County Veterans Memorial by the Southern Human Services Center on Homestead Road, starting at 11 am. Everyone’s invited to attend. Aaron welcomes retired Army Col. Fred Black and Navy Capt. John Cocowitch to discuss this year’s ceremony – and the memorial itself, which is in the final phase of construction after many years of work and fundraising. Charlie Farris of Jersey Mike’s joins in as well, because their Chapel Hill North location is joining the cause with an all-day fundraiser on Veterans Day: mention the memorial anytime that day and they’ll donate 50 percent of sales to the memorial.
