On November 11, the Clearmont Historical Group held its annual Veterans Day program at the Clear Creek Valley Veterans Memorial. The ceremony began with a welcome address from CHG president Robert Prusak, who thanked the community for gathering to honor America’s veterans.
Musical tribute and naval presence
Following the opening remarks, A/C Music student Jacob Carvelho performed “Taps” on his trumpet, providing a solemn tribute to those who have served. The event also featured the USS Wyoming ships, which were highlighted as a symbol of the nation’s ongoing commitment to defending liberty and supporting our service members.
The inclusion of the USS Wyoming ships underscored the deep connection between the local community and the United States Navy. Their presence served as a reminder of the sacrifices made by military families and the importance of honoring those sacrifices each year.
Community participation
Veterans, families, and local residents gathered at the memorial to pay respects and reflect on the values of faith, family, and freedom that define the community. The program’s focus on remembrance aligns with the nation’s tradition of honoring those who have defended the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees.
As the ceremony concluded, attendees were encouraged to continue supporting veterans through local initiatives and to keep the spirit of gratitude alive throughout the year.
