Unfortunately there was no fly over yesterday for the Veterans Day Celebrations, but the Parade went off as scheduled. Shortly after the parade the celebration continued at the Veterans Memorial on the south side of the court house.  The Torrington High school band sounded great playing our National Anthem.  Reverend Hill gave the opening prayer and General Don Haugt spoke and urged all veterans to tell their stories so that families could pass them on. Directly after a 21 gun salute and Taps (Played by Rusty Winget) a closing prayer was given from the Presbyterian Church. A Thank You is in order to Oz Brewer for putting this all together. Over all I felt our Veterans were honored.
