This November, Cornwall Public Library
honored our Military Veterans with
their annual Veteran’s Day reception.
Guests enjoyed refreshments while
viewing photographs, letters, medals
and more from community members’
personal collections. Young guests
showed their patriotism by decorating
their own paper American flags and lis-
tening to first hand accounts from the
Veterans themselves. It was a wonder-
ful afternoon spent connecting past
and present. To all our Veterans, thank
you, on Veteran’s day and every day!
