Dozens celebrated those who gave their lives in service to their country.
MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio -- Dozens of guests celebrated the memory of U.S. veterans under a bright and hazy sky, during the Memorial Day Ceremony at Whitehaven Memorial Park on Sunday afternoon.
Joshua Franey, of Tampa Bay, a U.S. Army veteran, spoke of losing his friend Brian Black, an Army Green Beret, during a training mission to Niger in October of 2017. Franey’s voice cracked as he read through Black’s biography, which is written by service members and is only to be read if the writer has been killed in action.
Others who spoke included Mayfield Village Chief of Police, Paul Matis, who is a U.S. Navy veteran, and Mayfield Village Mayor Brenda Bodnar.
