Local veterans of all ages and gender were honored on Monday during ceremonies at both CAL Community School and Hampton-Dumont High School.

     Large crowds of appreciative residents filled the gymnasiums at both high schools on Veteran's Day to say thanks to service men and women for their commitment to the country and military service.

     "I would ask that we all take a look at the veterans that sit before you today," said Jim Zacharias of the Hampton American Legion. "Let them know how much you appreciate them."

     "No matter what day it is, every day is Veteran's Day," Zacharias continued. "When you see that veteran, look at him and say, 'thank you.' He's the one that preserved the freedoms you so dearly enjoy today."
