Approximately 50 people and 137 AFJROTC cadets attended a Veterans Day program which included a wreath laying at the Williamston War Memorial Friday morning.

The program included recongnizing veterans of all branches of service and reading the names of those servicemen from the area who have served their country and made the ultimate sacrifice.

This year the service included a new name, Nicholas J. Alden, a former Williamston resident who lost his live last year in Germany in the War on Terrorism.
