A maple tree sticks out on Oakland Street in Webb City.
All veterans are invited to attend a Veterans Day assembly at 9:30 a.m. in the Cardinal Dome.
The assembly was last held in 2019 because the pandemic caused its cancelation last year. There will be social distancing this year.
The Webb City High School band and choir will perform.
Following the event, veterans are invited to join a parade in front of the middle school and junior high school students.
Another veterans event continuing this year is the free Thanksgiving dinner put on by the American Legion and VFW.
The meal will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21 at the post headquarters, 1000 N. Webb St. It will likely be the last Thanksgiving dinner at that location because a new post is under construction just south on Main Street.
This free dinner is offered to all veterans and all patrons of R-7 school district.
Don Wooten, commander of the American Legion, and Joe Wilson, commander of the VFW, say this is a small way to thank the patrons for their support during the year.
Members of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, and their friends and family, will be serving the dinner again this year.

The Jasper County Health Department announced on Nov. 4 one additional death of COVID-19.

The Webb City Sentinel isn’t a newspaper – but it used to be, serving Webb City, Missouri, in print from 1879-2020. This “newspaper” seeks to carry on that tradition as a nonprofit corporation.
