The American Legion Post 165 in Indianola held a Veterans Day ceremony at the IOOF Cemetery in Indianola in front of the Medal of Honor recipient Junior Edwards on Saturday. Vice Commander James Welty tells KNIA News the ceremony involved a flag raising, lowering the flag to half staff, a 21-gun salute, and Indianola High School student Aiden Keller playing taps. Welty said it means a lot to the Legion and other veterans to have the community support them on Veterans Day.

Welty will be featured on an upcoming Let’s Talk Indianola discussing Veterans Day in the community.
