(Editor’s note – Lisbon Schools Veterans Day ceremony was set for Monday, Nov. 11. Because of layout deadlines and not wanting to rush that story, coverage of that ceremony will be in the Nov. 21 issue).

It was a brief ceremony to honor Mount Vernon’s veterans Saturday, Nov. 9. Members of the Hahn-Howard Post 480 fired off a salute to veterans, and a rendition of taps was performed by Dennis Modracek.

“It was really for the post to do something to commemorate our veterans and Veterans Day,” said Mike Woods, commander of the post.

The afternoon concluded with service members visiting residents at Hallmark Care Center and giving cake and pies as well as certificates of appreciation to the veterans there.
