Fremont community gathers to honor military service

On Nov. 11, the public commemorated Veterans Day in Fremont at the Sandusky County Courthouse with speeches from veterans and a 21-gun salute to honor those who served. Sponsored by the Exchange Club of Fremont, the event included a Flags of Honor ceremony and music performed by the Fremont Ross High School Marching Band.

That timing could make a big difference in how strong the system becomes and how much wintry weather follows.
