On a more personal note, Arthur, along with the rest of the veterans living here in our community were honored yesterday in a Veteran’s Day ceremony at our county park. A flag flown over the White House had been purchased, and that flag was raised in ceremony by one of the veterans at our county park official flag pole.
A thank you applause to the veterans, photos and a brief speech. Arthur is a Vietnam era veteran. He rarely points to his own service, while humbly pointing to and honoring other veterans.
