Hundreds Pay Tribute To Our Veterans in Murphys...Updated with Video
Murphys, CA...In honor of Veteran's Day, the Ebbetts Pass Veteran's Memorial District held a very nice ceremony paying tribute and honoring all United States military veterans. It was held at the beautiful creekside monument which is located on Algiers Street across from the Murphys Park. The Calaveras Community Band and Bret Harte High School senior, Brice Gilpin singing the Star Spangled Banner provided the musical accompaniment. Dozens of local veterans attended with a very nice group of WWII veterans. To see the numbers of our WWII vets shrink every year is a sobering reminder how fast we are losing the history living among us as the greatest generation fades away...

One central part of the program was the great essays read by Michelson Elementary 4th Graders from Teacher Jennifer Berry's class.
The local Boy Scout Troop served not only as the color guard but also placed the flags up and down Hwy 4 the week before Veterans Day and several times during the year.
We have video from a camera that was handheld during the event so there is some shakiness in the video.
