THANK YOU: For Veterans Day coverage

I would like to thank Mr. Bill Buley and the Coeur d’Alene Press for covering the American Legion and VFW veteran ceremony held on Veterans Day at McEuen Park. Our very own Chuck Riffel, a Korean War Veteran, rung the Veteran bell at exactly 1100 on 11 NOV. This is symbolic because Veterans Day takes its roots when the Armistice was signed ending World War I on the 11th, hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.

Thank you Coeur d’Alene Press, the city of Coeur d’Alene, Coeur d’Alene American Legion Post 14, and Coeur d’Alene VFW Post 889. Thank you, Post 14 Commander Pat Tatum, and thanks to our guest speaker Dee Sasse, Rathdrum American Legion Post Commander.

We honor all veterans, all of you, every single one, past and present.

We will see you next year. At 1100 hours, on the 11th day of the 11th month. God Bless.
