Led by American Legion Post 259 and VFW Post 5919, veterans from WWII through Operation Iraqi Freedom were joined by hundreds of community members in celebrating the lives of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom.

A tribute at Oakhill Cemetery included wreath layings, a rifle salute and the trumpeting of Taps.
