After the ceremony, all veterans and their families are invited to the Cazenovia American Legion\u2019s Post Home on Chenango Street for lunch provided by Post 88\u2019s American Legion Auxiliary, chaired by Mary Ann Lansing.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>What veterans fear the most is that their contribution 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.<\/p>\n<p>Fly your flag on Veteran\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 community to attend a Veterans Day gathering at Memorial Park on Albany Street,\u00a0Cazenovia.
