MISSOULA — People gathered to take part in Missoula's Veterans Day ceremonies on Saturday in front of the Doughboy Statue by the Missoula County Courthouse.
Veterans and residents watched the ceremony as members of American Legion Post 27 and other military supporters performed and read stories and poetry in honor of those who have served.
The ceremony concluded with a wreath being placed at the base of the statue,
“Most veterans when they’re serving have the attitude that I am doing my job, I am supporting my country and my fellow veterans and they don’t really think much about recognition and so that makes events like today just that much more meaningful," explained U.S. Army veteran Colonel Gary Swartz.
Thank you to all those who have served.
