People took time out of their Fourth of July festivities to honor veterans at Clintonwood Park.
Bart Clark, retired U.S. Navy captain, led the veterans program, recognizing vets of all of America’s wars.
Vets also brought photos, equipment, and other mementos for a Military Museum in the Carriage House.
