Thank You, Veterans

Ricketts Fire Chief and American Legion Post #66 Second-Vice Commander, B.H. Meyer plays "Taps" after the 21 gun salute as part of Memorial Day observances in Charter Oak on Monday, May 26, 2008.

State Representative Clarence Hoffman cited a famous quote of President Theodore Roosevelt at Charter Oak's Memorial Day services,
“Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
Hoffman explained that we need to appreciate our veterans because they have shown how much they care.

“Thank you for how much you care,” he told the veterans in the audience.
