MERIDIAN – Members of Knights of Columbus Council 802 gathered Monday, May 26, at St. Patrick Cemetery to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States. The small, dedicated group raised the American flag before lowering it to half-staff, shared personal stories of loved ones who served in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and other conflicts, and reflected on the freedoms secured through their sacrifices. The ceremony concluded with a heartfelt testimony from Vietnam War veteran Ken Woodward and a group rendition of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Pictured (l-r): William Nix, John Harwell, Robert Leo, Donna Polizzi, Denise Huntley, John Bennett, Frank Polizzi and Robert Connor.
