As a volunteer with the Savannah Honor Flight Society, Don Poe pays his own way to assist often older veterans on free trips to Washington, D.C., to see the war memorials and Arlington National Cemetery. Friday morning, Poe will give the keynote remarks for the Bulloch County Veterans Day Observance. A musical prelude by an Averitt Center for the Arts choral group is scheduled to open Friday's gathering at 10:30 a.m. in the Averitt's Emma Kelly Theater.
