War, Remembrance and Service
The weekend edition of the Northfield News has a great story, “Trumpeting Our Fallen Heroes,” about the two Northfield High School trumpet players who will be featured at Monday’s Memorial Day program, “Tribute to All Veterans,” at the Northfield Area Veterans Memorial Park.
The trumpeters who auditioned for the honor of playing “Taps” are Helene Anglin and Erik Berthelsen, the son of a dear friend of mine. Both young people said in the article that they understood the importance of the day because their grandfathers fought in World War II.
I plan to attend Monday’s 9 a.m. ceremony, and I look forward to hearing the band play (Louisa will be among the French horns).
