WARREN — Women who served their country in the military were among those honored Tuesday at a special Veterans Day ceremony at First Presbyterian Church of Warren.

Nearly 100 people gathered in the church sanctuary, where veterans were honored and a special recognition was given to women veterans.

Allen Briggs, a Marine Corps veteran, said everyone will remember this Veterans Day because of the snow. The parade, sponsored by the Tribune Chronicle, was canceled because of the snow and slippery roads.

Briggs said Veterans Day honors all veterans, but it is important to remember the women who have served this great country in all military branches.

“The women gave of themselves to serve our country,” he said.

Women veterans were asked to stand at the event and received applause.
