The annual Veterans Dinner in Rockford is set for Nov. 1 at Embassy Suites.
The event, which has been a tradition for more than 80 years, began as a celebration of the Armistice of World War I and has since evolved to honor veterans from all eras, according to a community announcement.
Doors will open at 4:30 p.m., with a social hour and cocktails starting at 5:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:45 p.m.
