Residents, veterans and their families gathered at the First Street Veterans Memorial in downtown Morgan Hill to honor local service people who died while serving their country.

More than 100 people attended the May 25 ceremony, which is organized every year by Morgan Hill resident and Vietnam veteran Eddie Bowers.

The remembrance included patriotic songs performed by local students, a singing of the national anthem, a reading of the names of local residents who died overseas since World War One, a prayer and a performance of “Taps.”

Veterans raised an American flag that belonged to World War Two veteran Roy Quindt.

Morgan Hill residents and veterans Charles Hubbard and Terry Howell laid wreaths at the foot of the downtown memorial, which displays a series of plaques listing the names of local veterans who died while serving in the military.
