Members of Le Roy’s Botts Fiorito American Legion Post 576 gathered at 11 a.m. Wednesday to commemorate Veterans Day.

Commander Don Schafer led the annual ceremony at the Soldiers’ Monument in Trigon Park.

A prayer by Post Chaplain Gary Bassett, and readings by Schafer and Auxiliary President Roberta Graney were followed by a three-volley salute.

Graney and Regina Diskin, auxiliary past president, laid a wreath at the monument.

“Taps” was performed by bugler Sammy Austin, 13.

The timing of the Veterans Day service recalls the end of World War I. The Armistice with Germany took effect at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
