Veterans Day
ceremony in Versailles Area Museum
On Sunday November 10, the Versailles Area Museum held a program
honoring all the local Veterans in the newly opened Military
Room.
President Deb Pohl welcomed everyone to the program. Speaker Mike
McClurg, a veteran himself, told the audience “Why we should celebrate
Veterans Day” and what three Veterans he looked up to.
A very moving lighting ceremony was then preformed. Thirteen
candles set on a table surrounded one large candle in the middle.
As the number of deaths were read for each war involving the United
States a candle was extinguished and a bell was rung. The last
candle in the middle was not extinguished, representing peace for our
future generations.
Light refreshments were served in the Annie Oakley Lobby.
