Thanks to all who helped with Veterans Day events

To the Editor:

As Veterans Day 2016 draws to a close, American Legion Post 191 would like to thank the Webster City Middle School staff, students, band and teachers for helping us observe this special day. Also a big thank you to the veterans and general public who attended the service.

In addition, on behalf of all veterans, we would like to congratulate the Webster City High School for the Veterans Day program they put on. It was awesome. Attendance was much better than last year and there is no doubt that this program will continue to grow.

In closing, I need to thank my fellow Legion members who took the day to man the firing squad, to put up flags at Graceland Cemetery and the Boulevard of Valor. Not to be forgotten, the crew who prepared and served the evening meal. A special thanks goes to Jack Spratt for donating the food and the proceeds from the meal to the Legion’s Boys State Fund.

To everyone involved in the day, I cannot thank you enough.

Dale Caquelin,

Commander

American Legion Post 191
