Centerville-Washington History and Washington-Centerville Public Library will be hosting our annual exhibit as a tribute for all veterans from November 9-12.  Uniforms, artifacts, and historical items will be on display. This year the exhibit pays tribute to the Vietnam War experience including reflections on the summer's The Wall That Heals exhibit. 

A reception following the Veterans Day Ceremony at 11:00 AM November 11 at Stubbs Park will be held, and the public is invited for light refreshments. 

At 1:00 PM on Saturday, November 11, Dr. David Meyer will speak at the library about his experiences during the Vietnam War. Dr David Meyer was raised in a large family on a farm in Northern Ohio. A Vietnam War-Era Air Force veteran, he is an accomplished public servant who has greatly impacted the Dayton area as a Professional Engineer. Dave, along with his wife Kathleen, became a member of Centerville-Washington History in 2015, and he joined the Board of Trustees in 2017. He has taught at The Ohio State University, The University of Dayton, and is a Professor Emeritus of Sinclair Community College. In 2020 Dave was honored as an inductee into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame.
