Over 20 veterans from the local American Legion and VFW were in attendance to help celebrate this important date. Secretary of State John Gale delivered the Veterans Day message. As the chief election officer of the state, Mr. Gale spoke about the importance of voting and that we enjoy this right because of the sacrifice of our veterans.

Members from the Wahoo High School and Bishop Neumann bands and choirs also joined in the celebration by performing renditions of “God Bless America” and “Salute to America’s Finest.”  Once again, the joint music groups put on an impressive show for the nearly 800 people in attendance. This is the second year that both schools have joined together to commemorate and honor our veterans on November 11.
