Martha Liebert Public Library Presents: Veteran’s Day Event | Rough Riders and New Mexico | Retired Veteran Jack Fox

We have changed our presentation on November 9th at 2pm to “Rough Riders and New Mexico” in honor of this brave group that fought at the Battle of San Juan (Kettle Hill) on July 1, 1898. They were also instrumental in many other battles in their years of service. Their memory is kept alive by the 200th Air Defense Artillery, New Mexico National Guard. We would love to have you join us for this presentation about our nation’s history for Veteran’s Day.
