Military and Veterans Commission readies Veterans Day pavers, traffic-box art and flyover for Huber Heights event

Anthony Windsor, chair of the Huber Heights Military and Veterans Commission, updated the City Council Tuesday on the commission’s activities and plans for Veterans Day.

Windsor said the commission will install new pavers in time for the Veterans Day celebration so purchasers can see their loved ones’ names during the ceremony. The commission also sponsored decorative wraps for traffic signal boxes along Veterans Parkway.

Windsor described a ceremonial “Warrior Boot” created by Kevin McDonald that was presented at a recent event and noted that Wayne High School’s Junior ROTC will present the colors during the Veterans Day ceremony.

The commission announced that the Veterans Day event will be held Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, at Tom Cloud Park and will begin at 4 p.m. Windsor said dignitaries expected to attend include a deputy commander from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the chief of staff for the Dayton VA. "We've been bestowed the privilege of having a flyover in our community in Huber Heights," Windsor said, adding that achieving the flyover required extensive paperwork and discussions with base personnel.

Council members praised Windsor and commission members for their work; a council member asked staff to contact media to invite them to the flyover and event.
