Local American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts held a wreath-laying ceremony Monday at the Clarendon War Memorial to commemorate Veterans Day.
The groups traditionally hold such ceremonies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. This year, though, they also dedicated a temporary plaque that bears the names of six Arlington men who died in Iraq or Afghanistan.
