The Auburn community paused Monday to remember the fallen, honor those who have served and those serving in harm’s way today.
Family and friends joined City leaders, veterans and their affiliated organizations in a remembrance ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park, a program courtesy of Auburn Post No. 78.
