‘Some of my guys have injuries from Vietnam. They can hardly walk to the cemetery,” said VFW Post 414 Commander Robert Galbraith.

Sacrifice. Honor. Devotion to duty and a cause greater than themselves distinguish America’s veterans and their families. On this day those who served joined those who turned out to remember loved ones who gave their lives in service to our country.
