During last week’s Veterans Day Ceremony, the Veterans Day Committee honored several veterans and at least one active duty military member who passed away within the past year with red roses placed in sconces at the Veterans Monument.
The mistress of ceremonies, Boatswains Mate Chief Petty Officer Michelle Wynn, United States Navy, Retired, read the names of the Fallen Soldiers as members of the Elsinore High School Flying Tigers Junior ROTC assisted Wendy Munio in the placing of the roses at the monument. Wendy is the daughter-in-law of Anthony Munio.
A wreath-laying ceremony followed, with Officer Wynn saying, “On days like today, we are called to reflect on the immeasurable burdens that have been borne by so few. We pay tribute to our wounded, our missing, our fallen and their families – men and women who have known the true costs of conflict and deserve our deepest respect, now and forever.”
