The services started at Washington Square where veterans gathered with city leaders for a rifle salute, playing of Taps, and ceremonial laying of wreaths in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier and Eternal Flame.
Following that service, veterans gathered at the Korean War Memorial Park for another ceremony honoring those who served in that war. And at noon more veterans came to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial a few steps away for a ceremony that paid tribute to the 648 Philadelphians listed on the wall who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I’m proud to support veterans and take part in this special ceremony each year.
