(WLOX) — Names of recent fallen veterans were read at the Jackson County Veterans Day Program while the POW/MIA table sat empty. Army veteran Harold Myers said he remembers the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. “It brings it to heart. It makes you stop and think about what the good Lord gave you and what you have to be blessed for,” Myers said.The Wreath of the Fallen Soldier was laid, and the program included a military anthem salute and the playing of taps. The event was the 27th annual celebration to honor veterans.Myers said it was a beautiful ceremony and he is grateful to be a part of it. He said being a veteran was not always celebrated.“There’s more gratitude now than back in the 1960s and 1970s. There was no gratitude. You were cursed at and everything else. Nowadays, if you bring someone back, you honor them, you remember them and you have a spot in your heart for them,” Myers said.Army veteran Maj. James Bordelon served as this year’s keynote speaker. He emphasized the skills he learned in the Army and how service translates to his daily life away from the military.“We have something to give to the community and to communicate to the younger generation just how important service is,” Bordelon said.Veterans are honored whether they served voluntarily or were drafted. On Veterans Day, the appreciation extends further.“My message to veterans is a profound thanks,” Bordelon said.“We wish you all well and we welcome you home,” Myers said.See a spelling or grammar error in this story?
