York County veterans tell their stories: Linked in with neat York County history stuff, Nov. 12, 2011
York, Pa. Daily Record/Sunday News photographer Kate Penn put together a memorable Veterans Day package. Visit ‘Saluting their Service’ to see how this visual journalist portrayed York County vets who served America – from World War II through Iraq and Afghanistan. And see how York County honored its veterans on 11/11/11. Also of interest: New York County exhibit covers 20th-century wars: ‘We willingly served our country because they asked us to’.
Neat stuff from all over … .
