This is great. I'm thinking of the seven WWII veterans who were able to attend. Great job Stephanie giving those of us who missed the ceremonny a feel of the actual event intertwined with the words from some of the older veterans gave the video deeper meaning. Great job also by American legion Post 294. Just goes to show how connected and vital they are in
our community.
