Moving Veteran's Day Celebration in Moraga

Dignitaries, Boy Scouts, veterans and approximately 100 Lamorinda residents turned out at Moraga Commons on Veteran's Day to honor those who served. The morning service opened with flag-bearing scouts flanking the town's memorial stone, and ended with a lone bugler's rendition of "Taps." As the crowd dispersed, a widow spontaneously placed a single red rose in the earth by the stone. "My husband landed on the beach the afternoon of D-Day," she said, wiping her tears. "He died three years ago. I always lose it when I hear 'Taps.'" - Cathy Dausman
