LACONIA — As groups around the country gathered to honor the service of veterans at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, on Tuesday morning, around 80-odd Laconians did the same.

“Veterans Day could be pretty much every day. I don’t think that everybody shows the appreciation that they feel to the importance of veterans. It’s overwhelming what the men and women of our country have done by serving, and there’s never enough gratitude shown,” Mayor Charlie St. Clair said. “I hope that, in the future and present day, politicians and government will give the support that’s needed by our veterans who have given so much, and I thank you all for that.”

“Speaking for the city, the citizens, God bless all of you so much,” St. Clair said. “And thank you so much.”
