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
