Military veterans of the United States were honored Friday, Veterans Day, across the country, and Garrett County took part in the observance. Various ceremonies were held throughout the area, including a parade and commemoration event in the county seat. A parade with veterans and the Southern Garrett Marching Band got under way in the morning, leading to the Garrett County Courthouse. While the original plan was to have the proceedings outdoors at Veterans Park, blowing snow resulted in a change of venue, and the crowds gathered inside the rotunda for the remainder of the ceremony. Maj. Gen. Melissa Rank, retired assistant Air Force surgeon general, offered the speech for the day, and members of both the American Legion Post 71 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10077 provided the welcome, invocation, special singing, the placing of the wreathes, and a 21-gun salute.
