About 30 people attended the US Armed Forces Candle Ceremony on the Courthouse Square, Saturday evening. Paul Endris made the opening remarks followed by a short ceremony when luminaria were lit by Kaye Jeffries for each of the US Armed Forces - US Army, US Marine Corps, US Navy, US Air Force, US Coast Guard. Family members and friends then came forward to light individual candles for local men and women now serving in the Armed Forces. Amy Voris led the opening and closing songs and also sang a solo. The Girls Club was there with free memberships for girls who belong to a military family.
Thank you to all who attended in support of our local men and women who are serving our country in the Armed Forces! It is encouraging for the families to know that their love and concern and pride is shared by the community.
