Dozens of local veterans were honored this afternoon on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2010, during a ceremony at the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester. The event featured a speech from State Representative Bill Coley and a simultaneous proclamation by West Chester Township and Liberty Township trustees Lee Wong and David Kerns, both of whom are veterans.
The ceremony began at 12:15 p.m. with everyone in attendance singing the National Anthem and saying the Pledge of Allegiance together.
