A Golden Strip Tradition of Service

Rooted in the national observance of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month—marking the signing of the 1918 Armistice—Simpsonville’s ceremony serves as a local focal point for reflection and gratitude.

The program will feature ceremonial tributes honoring veterans of all military branches, reflections from community leaders, and opportunities to connect with local service members who call the Upstate home.

Residents, students, and local civic groups are invited to arrive early to secure seating inside the auditorium and show their support for those who have worn the nation’s uniform.
