Veterans Day Ceremony

November 10, 2007 in Brackenridge , PA  

     Our annual Veterans Day ceremony was held at the Prospect Cemetery in Brackenridge , PA.   This cemetery has veterans buried in it dating from the War of 1812 through the present day.  The high number of veterans there is a testament of this community’s tremendous contributions to defending our country and the freedoms we enjoy each day.  In the center of the cemetery are two 8-inch Columbiads.  Several veterans attended the ceremony.
