Soldiers Home Supt. Eric Johnson and School Supt. Almi Abeyta placed the ceremonial wreaths by the Spanish-American War Memorial. Outside, Ana Victoria Power-Maltez danced happily while placing American flags at the City Hall Memorials. Keynote speaker Ret. Army Col. Bob Notch, director of veteran’s programs at Brighton Marine, challenged everyone to bring someone with them to next year’s exercises.
