Veterans Day Ceremonies held at Hilton Community Center

Students from both Quest Elementary School and Merton Williams Middle School gathered with a contingent of area veterans on Nov. 10 to participate in Veterans Day Ceremonies at the Hilton Community Center on Henry St. 

The Hilton-Parma Veterans Honor Guard led by Al Howe and John Barclay along with Middle School teacher Pam Tenney, coordinated the event. 

Supervisor-elect Peter McCann, a Vietnam veteran, told students the importance of "all the freedoms we have today were hard won." 

Veteran Bob Hall performed taps.  Rev. Walter Steenson of the Hilton Baptist Church addressed the event as a veteran of Desert Storm.
