Disabled American Veterans Chapter 171 will hold a Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, at VFW Post 1143, 101 West Hatfield St., in Massena. Veterans Day falls on Wednesday this year.
The ceremony will include a rifle salute by the VFW Honor Guard. Refreshments will be available.
DAV Chapter 171 and the honor guard held similar 11 a.m. services at the same post in 2024 and 2025. The 2025 ceremony included the dedication of a 48-star flag that had hung at the Alcoa Massena Operations plant during World War II.
Massena has several veterans organizations that hold events for Veterans Day. An Amvets Ladies Auxiliary Post 4 soup-and-sandwich event for veterans is also scheduled for later that Wednesday, following the parade and ceremony. The DAV ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. at VFW Post 1143.
