The Chrysler Technology Center auditorium will host a Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11.

The ceremony, which will last about an hour and begin at 11 a.m., will honor current and veteran members of the United States and Canadian armed forces. The event, presented by UAW Local 412’s Veterans Committee, is open to all employees and contractors.

Veterans Committee Chairman Wayne Smith will emcee the event that will include a presentation of colors by the Air National Guard Color Guard from Selfridge Air National Guard Base and the national anthems of the United States and Canada by the Avondale (Auburn Hills) High School Choir.

This year, U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Keith Edwards, Command Chief of the 127th Wing from Selfridge, will discuss his unit’s mission in the Middle East theater of operations. Scott Garberding, Head of Manufacturing/World Class Manufacturing Ad Interim, also will speak.

The Veterans Committee also has teamed up with the Warren (Mich.) Goodfellows to collect toys for needy children this Christmas. A collection box will be at this event and later placed near employee entrances for donations of new, unwrapped toys.
