\"happy-veterans-day-greetings-copy\"<\/a>The Commander of the Cazenovia American Legion Post 88, Richard Benner and the\u00a0President of Post 88\u2019s American Legion Auxiliary, Margaret Costello invite the\u00a0community to attend a Veterans Day gathering at Memorial Park on Albany Street,\u00a0Cazenovia.<\/p>\n

This event will take place Friday, Nov. 11, 2016, at 11 a.m.\u00a0The theme for this Veterans Day is \u201cFocus on the Flag.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assisting us with this\u00a0focus will be WWII veteran Karl Monson, father of Sharye Skinner both of whom make their home in Cazenovia. Excerpts from Lt. Colonel Monson\u2019s letters home about the flag will be read. A folded American flag will then be presented to him\u00a0while Maddie Filkorn, a senior from The Cazenovia Central School District will play a\u00a0violin rendition of Ashokan Farewell.<\/p>\n

From 7:00 \u201311:00 am, Bill Tiliston, owner of Dave\u2019s Diner at Common Grounds\u00a0across from Memorial Park on Albany Street, is offering a free cup of coffee to all\u00a0veterans. After the ceremony all veterans and their families are invited to the\u00a0Cazenovia American Legion\u2019s Post Home on Chenango Street for lunch provided by\u00a0Post 88\u2019s American Legion Auxiliary, chaired by Mary Ann Lansing.<\/p>\n

Memorial Day is set aside in May as a day for remembering and honoring military\u00a0personnel who died in the service of our country. Veterans Day in November gives\u00a0us an opportunity to thank the living veterans for their military service, and to\u00a0acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated. The\u00a0words, \u201cthank you for your service\u201d means to a veteran that his or her service to their country has not been forgotten.<\/p>\n

What veterans fear the most is that their\u00a0contribution to our defense will fade away, that no one cares. This is especially true\u00a0with active duty veterans who may now be burdened with psychological and\u00a0physical wounds. We owe our deepest recognition of them, their families and\u00a0caregivers for their sacrifices. Fly your flag on Veteran\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
