Veteran’s honored on Memorial Day

PRESCOTT – A small, but faithful group gathered at the Nevada County Veteran’s Memorial Monday morning to honor those who have made the supreme sacrifice for the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans.

Those gathered paid no mind to the heat and humidity as they stood quietly watching and listening to the annual ceremony. While many took advantage of the day for an extended weekend, there were those who remembered the importance and significance of the day and what it means.

Flags flew at half-mast at the Nevada County Courthouse, though the flag at the local post office was fully raised.
