Veterans honor wreaths amid rain at cemetery ceremony
West Virginia Civil Air Patrol cadets and local officials gathered under canvas canopies as rain and wind troubled the ceremony. Judge Derek Swope urged remembrance of veterans sacrifices while cadets Kathryn Tyson and Chad Williamson placed a wreath on the POW MIA memorial. A combined rifle team fired a three volley salute and Randy Gibson played Taps as Daisy Walker sang God Bless America. Cadets plan to finish placing 600 wreaths Sunday, weather permitting.
