1116UN-Cresswind2
Cresswind community pays tribute to those who served in the military in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan on Veterans Day. Veterans stood by their service flags and were recognized at the singing of each service song during “The Armed Forces Medley.”
The Cresswind community in Gainesville received a flag flown above the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., from U.S. Rep. Doug Collins. The congressman presented the flag in honor of the community’s veterans as part of the Veterans Day observance where a new community flagpole was dedicated. Accepting the flag was Cresswind Veterans Club member and Army veteran Roy Gogel.
