CUMMING -- The red and white stripes of more than 200 American flags swayed in the wind, their navy corners, dotted with stars, flying high at the city of Cumming’s annual Veterans Day ceremony Friday morning. The Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) Chapter 1030 hosted the Saluting America’s Veterans event, which was held at the Veterans War Memorial in downtown Cumming. The ceremony honored both veterans and servicemen and women who have fought and served to keep the United States free.
