For those who sacrificed

Retired Marine Sgt. Virginia Sutton was the emcee, Elana Dupre sang the national anthem, David Martin led a prayer, and Mayor Lee Dragna welcomed the guests. Police Chief Chad M. Adams was the guest speaker on a day set aside to remember those who died defending the United States. "Their sacrifice is one our nation shall never forget," Adams said, while urging the audience to "strive to be worthy of freedom purchased at high cost."
