OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Veterans and community leaders gathered at Memorial Park in central Omaha on Monday to honor service members of all ages and remember those who gave their lives for our country.
The American flag waved from above as the Veterans Day ceremony brought together attendees, including Governor Jim Pillen, Congressman Don Bacon, and Omaha Mayor John Ewing Jr.
"Recently, I had someone thank a veteran for their service, and they said you were worth it, and that is the spirit in which our veterans have served this country; they believe that this country and all of us are worth it, so I say thank you," Ewing said.
The ceremony concluded shortly after noon with the playing of taps and a rendition of "America the Beautiful."
