Memorial Day is Monday, a day when our nation takes the time to remember those who died in service to our country.
Each year the folks at Greystone long-term care facility, honor those men and women who live there, who spent part of their youth defending this country.
The Veterans that were honored included 27 men and 1 woman.
Each had their names read from a roll of honor, and a color guard gave them a 21-gun salute.
92-year-old Charles Roberts is the oldest veteran at today's ceremony.
He served in the Pacific in World War II, and today's ceremony makes him proud to have served his country.
"Oh it feels fine! Every year they have something here...it makes you feel good those people remember.", said Roberts.
The Veterans that live here, sometimes feel that they are forgotten, but today's celebration lets them know how grateful this nation is for their service.
It is important to remember this Memorial Day, that one-thousand World War II vets pass away each day.
