Local veterans, joined by the VSHS band, and many local citizens, honored veterans, especially the three Vinton men who died in Vietnam, during the annual Memorial Day ceremony Monday. A new bench honors Ronnie Johnson, Joe Lynn Fowler and Wayne Gary Wutzke. Family members of the three placed wreaths on the new bench during the ceremony, which included memories of the three shared by family, fellow soldiers and local veterans.
