The Hoover Public Library plans to hold its annual veterans celebration on Nov. 6. The day kicks off at 2 p.m. with a program in the Hoover Library Theatre honoring the winner of this year's Freedom Award, given out by the Hoover Veterans Committee and Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce. This year's winner is Peyton Ligon, a decorated veteran of the U.S. Army. By the end of Ligon's 27-year stint in the Army, he had received a Silver Star, Bronze Star with Valor, Purple Heart, combat infantry medal and expert infantry level, among several other awards.
