Price City’s Main Street played host to a special walk on Sunday morning as local veterans from all five branches of the military proudly made their way from 1st East to 3rd East. This event, hosted by the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled Veterans of America, Utah National Guard and Elks’ Lodge, was deemed the Veterans Day of Recognition.
Following the walk, family, friends and members of the community gathered at the Price City Peace Gardens for a Veterans Day ceremony.
