Harrisburg observes 100th anniversary of Armistice Day at WWI doughboy statue

But 15 minutes later there was a band; a motorcycle club; city, county and state politicians; a gold star mother and veterans joined together to remember Armistice Day which is now called Veterans Day.

The statue at the center of it all “Lest We Forget” was dedicated 96 years ago in memory of local Harrisburg boys who went off to fight in the war to end all wars and came back men, if they came back at all.
