CASSADAGA — Members of the Cassadaga American Legion Post 1280 held three Veterans’ Day ceremonies on Veterans Day.

Led by Post Commander Rusty Jones, the group held three different ceremonies at the Heritage Village in Gerry.

Each ceremony opened with a prayer by Legion chaplain Diane K. Shaw, and then a moment of silence for those who never returned. Veterans in the nursing home were recognized and honored for their service to our country with a special red, white and blue award.

Each Veteran had the opportunity to tell a little of their experience in the service. Others participating in the service from the Legion were Bob Connelly, Diman Smith, Dennis Stephens and Jeff Cook. Cassadaga Village Historian John Sipos photographed the event.
