Community comes out to pay tribute to its veterans

AUBURN - Eleven strong bell tolls reverberated across the south lawn of Memorial City Hall Tuesday, then the bang of rifle fire and the somber melody of “Taps.”

Community members, those who served or are serving in the military and elected officials assembled at City Hall Tuesday for a Day of Remembrance, to honor the citizens who risked their lives to protect the United States.

“Today we honor all those that have served with honor and who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that the people in the United States and its allies abroad can have our freedom,” James Dacey said in front of the large crowd.
