“You’re seen, you’re honored, you’re appreciated,” Jeff Reinbold, superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, said to the more than 200 visitors at the start of the 90-minute ceremony at the memorial, the most visited war monument on the mall.

Residents gathered Monday morning at the town’s War Memorial to honor Veterans Day and to thank the men and woman who have served in the military to keep this country free with a parade and wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial.
