The VFW Post 7442 came in uniform and presented the American flag. Following the flag presentation the taps were played. Thanks to Bob Tripp in the picture with the Mayor read a poem. The reflection in his voice carried the message very well.
Two short videos were played of Kate Smith singing God Bless American and I Am A Veteran. To complete the program Bill Barton's group "Friends of the Fiddlers" did an excellent patriotic program.
The man standing in front is Dale Waudby. Dale was the veteran with a birthday that day. The band and audience sang Happy Birthday to him.
