Veteran's Day Salute to Our Orting Heroes

The public is invited to honor area veterans on Veteran's Day Friday at Orting's Soldiers Home. They are  providing music from the Puyallup Community Band and remarks from two veterans who are cycling across the country. The program begins at 2 p.m. at 1301 Orting-Kapowsin Highway. Call 360-893-4511 for more information.
