The honoring of our veterans should be a year long, day by day exercise. God bless
them and their families during this Christmas Season.
Merry Christmas to all readers NE.com and to William and his efforts for providing news that otherwise would go unnoticed or reported.
What a wonderful day and honor to be able to be with the men and women that fought for our freedom. It would be nice to see some group pictures that has work hard for 3 or 4 months, from their hearts to make this happen. I myself would like to Thank Micha Evirett, from American Legion Post 340. We believe in our Veterans and their families. God Bless and Merry Christmas to all.
