During our latest city council meeting, Mayor Kate Schwarzler read a proclamation recognizing Veterans Day and honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Following the proclamation, Mayor Kate presented a copy of it to members of American Legion Post 33 in attendance.
An excerpt from the proclamation reads, “…Whereas the courage, honor, sacrifice, and dedication which veterans of the United States Armed Forces have displayed in the cause of justice, freedom, and democracy are most worthy of recognition. And whereas the residents of the city of Independence thank, honor, and salute all of our community members who have answered the call to service to protect and defend our nation.”
To all who have served, and those currently serving, thank you for your service!
