This Veterans Day, Urbana Middle School honored local veterans by displaying American flags, each one featuring the name of a veteran.
In downtown Frederick, the American Legion Francis Scott Key Post 11 held a ceremony at Memorial Park, bringing together veterans and their families.
Keith Clevenger, a former commander and active member of the Legion, shared his thoughts on the importance of the day: “Our veterans’ sacrifices shaped our community.”
These acts of gratitude and respect serve as a reminder that Veterans Day is not just a holiday, but an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who courageously served our country, and to renew our commitment to honoring them every day.
