With a field of flags surrounding them, several hundred people came to Simpsonville on Sunday afternoon to honor members of the nation's armed services at a Veterans Day salute at the city's Veteran's Memorial park.

Listening to patriotic songs, and hearing speeches from Mayor and veteran Perry Eichor, along with a mother whose daughter died as a pilot serving in Iraq, veterans old and young along with their families and others, paid their respects to service members from the nation's five major military branches.
