SunStar File April 09, 2021 THE threat of Covid-19 may have kept many war veterans at home on Araw ng Kagitingan, a national holiday celebrated with wreath laying, but the pandemic did not stop 10 veterans from showing up at Cebu City’s Plaza Independencia to honor those who fought shoulder to shoulder with them during World War II.
The veterans attended a wreath laying ceremony at the Cebu Veterans Memorial marker on Friday, April 9, 2021. The ceremony was organized by the Cultural and Historial Affairs Commission (Chac).
In a message, Mayor Edgardo Labella said while bravery and love of country emanated from the heroes who fought during World War II, such bravery and valor continue even today.
