Veterans Day Remembrances Begin in Special Way at Praha

Friday is Veterans Day, and lots of local events are this week, but Praha held one of the first with their 60th anniversary event honoring veterans of all eras at the Praha Cemetery Sunday, Nov. 6. Guest speaker was Mike Whitten, Retired Lieutenant Colonel U.S. Marines. There was a flyover by Commemorative Air Force and a fried chicken dinner. Praha is a sacred place on Veterans Day as nine young men from the tiny community gave their lives in World War II and are buried there. Photos by Stephanie Steinhauser
