[November 12, 2011]  A community gathering of 160 at the Freedom Hall in Lincoln honored our local veterans, past and present. The annual event had an addition this year with a ceremony called the "Olde Glory Flag Presentation."

The event is put on by the Lincoln VFW, with the Lincoln American Legion handling the honor guard ceremony.
