Today is Veterans Day. My father, Duncan Richard McColman III served two tours in Vietnam and was one of the proudest Americans I have ever known.

The Fenton Rotary showed their appreciation to local veterans yesterday morning by hosting their annual Veterans Day Breakfast at Spring Meadows Country Club.
Army Pfc Allen Morr and Navy diver Owen Hammerberg were honored today during a special ceremony at Flint's McFarlan Veterans Memorial Park. Both men lost their lives while serving our country.
