101st Airborne honored at Artesia's annual Veterans Day Event

The flyover and landing of a Blackhawk helicopter was the icing on the cake for Artesia’s Veterans Day ceremony on November 8.

 

Artesia’s annual Veterans Day event ceremony honored the 101st Airborne and featured a speech from Congresswoman Linda Sanchez and an engaging war story from World War 2 veteran Manny Barrios.  Through the work of Congresswoman Linda Sanchez’s office, Vietnam veteran Joe Perry was reunited with long lost medals he earned while serving in a combat role during the Vietnam War.
