The Kenosha County Center program included ceremonial elements — colors, the Pledge of Allegiance and a national anthem performance — followed by short remarks from community members and veteran service officers.
Cheryl McCrary provided the national anthem. Samantha Kirkland, who spoke during the program, described FaceTiming a local servicewoman deployed overseas and noted the personal stakes of remembrance: "I was FaceTiming with 1 of our service women from, a Wilmot High School graduate from 2024 who is currently serving, in The Middle East." The moderator thanked Cheryl McCrary and other volunteers before closing the ceremony and urging attendees to reflect on the empty chair on display.
The program combined formal ceremony with local stories to connect symbolic observance to personal experience and community recognition.
