Close to 200 people gathered under crisp, sunny skies on Monday afternoon in Sultan for the Veterans Day Ceremony.

Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick served as Master of Ceremonies, welcoming the community to the event, which included a presentation by Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, a visit from 39th District State Representative Elizabeth Scott, the National Anthem performed by Sultan resident Paula Thomas and a history of the Veterans Wall by former Sultan mayor C.H. Rowe. The principal speaker for the event was retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Robert Reese. To read the full article, click HERE. |
