Assembling at Fountain Square on Veterans Day, Saturday, Nov. 11, to honor veterans and their service to country, about 60 residents attended to hear prayers, patriotic music and speeches, and to witness the laying of a memorial wreath. VFW Post 5444 Commander Nick Woodard spoke movingly about the men and women who have served under the flag, and Town Supervisor Victoria Perotti urged residents to help a veteran in their midst. Offering prayers were VFW Chaplain Rick Butler and the Rev. R. Kent Wilson of Immaculate Conception Church in Amenia. The Chamberlin family led the singing. The town’s Enhancement Committee assisted with the event.
