Veteran Thomas Spade, who served in the U.S. Navy from 1958-1962, listens to a speech during Monday's Veterans Day ceremony at War Memorial Field.
Tom Lindley, Bonner County's Veteran Services officer and a 29-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, talks to those gathered at War Memorial Field about the importance of Veterans Day.
Plaques at War Memorial Field pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Too often, their sacrifices are overlooked or their service taken for granted.
Monday, residents took time to thank the community's veterans for both their service and the sacrifices it entails at a special Veterans Day tribute at War Memorial Field.
"When we visualize who or what is a veteran, a few words come to mind — courage, and sacrifice," Thomas Lindley, the county's Veterans Services officer, said in welcoming the community to the Veterans Day ceremony.
