American Legion Post and Auxiliary 462 held a 9/11 memorial ceremony Saturday in Laporte.
Speaker Jim Smith shared words from the national commander of the American Legion. In attendance were members of the Lakeport Township Fire Department, Minnesota State Troopers, former students of Smith and the In-Country Vietnam Veterans group, who showed support by forming a flag line.
Pastor Rene Mehlberg opened and closed the ceremony with prayer. Katherine Johnson sang the national anthem, and young Delaney Clyde assisted with the bell ringing ceremony for the fallen.
