The rain rolled in as prayers, tears and gratitude poured forth. A solemn military ceremony was held Wednesday in Mica Peak Cemetery to honor the service and commemorate the official marking of gravesites for three veterans who fought in three different wars over a span of 135 years. "It is with great thanksgiving that we come together today to remember three who have given their lives to serve the rest of us and for many generations before," Bishop Pat Bell, father of Timothy Bell, said as he led the opening prayer.
