JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP — Residents, veterans and local officials gathered on Saturday, November 14, for Jefferson Township’s Veterans Day ceremony, paying tribute to the men and women of the township who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States.
Mayor Eric Wilsusen addressed the crowd from the podium at the township’s Veterans Memorial, which was dedicated during Jefferson Township’s bicentennial to the township’s veterans who served in the Armed Forces throughout its history.
Despite gray, chilly weather, a large crowd filled the seats and stood along the brick plaza, including members of local veterans organizations, first responders, families and residents.
Red, white and blue wreaths were placed at the township’s memorial stones, including the World War I Roll of Honor monument, which lists the names of local residents who served from 1914 to 1918, and a memorial honoring township men and women who served in later conflicts.
The ceremony was held a few days after Veterans Day, which fell on Wednesday, November 11.
