American Legion honors veterans

Members of American Legion Post #11 visit local nursing homes annually on Veterans Day. Members give a brief Veterans Day speech followed by a presentation of a small gift to each veteran.

This year the veterans received a personalized flashlight with their name on it along with their service branch.  Each facility then has cake and punch for their residents.
