Chicago Veterans Day: Admiral Haney Keynotes at Soldier Field Ceremony

Admiral Cecil D. Haney (USN, Retired), addresses audience at Chicago's Soldier Field as the keynote speaker for the City of Chicago's Veteran Day commemoration.

Members of the Chicago Navy Memorial Foundation played a pivotal role in organizing the City of Chicago's Veterans Day observance, held on November 11, 2023, at Soldier Field. The Foundation was instrumental in securing retired Admiral Cecil Haney as the keynote speaker for the event.  Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, honors military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, recognizing their sacrifices and contributions to the nation. Soldier Field, the historic stadium in Chicago, serves as a fitting venue for the ceremony, reinforcing its role as a central site for military themed commemorative events.  The observance provided an opportunity for reflection and gratitude, underscoring the enduring legacy of military service and sacrifice.
