The annual Hardeman County Veterans Program spearheaded by Vicki Ward Ridenhour of the Hardeman County Veterans Committee will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the Bolivar Municipal Center located at 211 N. Washington St., in Bolivar. The program is open to the public and all veterans are invited to attend.

Command Sergeant Major James E. Spencer, United States Army (Retired) will be the keynote speaker of the event, which is in its fourteenth year.

The ceremony was created by Frances Ward to honor her husband, First Sergeant with the US Army (Retired) William T. (Rick) Ward, and other military veterans in Hardeman County for their years of service. After her mother’s passing in 2019, Ms. Ridenhour “took up the torch and ran with it”, and has been as committed as her mother in ensuring Hardeman County veterans are recognized each year.

The Veterans Day Program and the Wall of Honor at the Bolivar-Hardeman County Library are some of the ways Hardeman County veterans are being honored and remembered.
