Also in Big Spring today the V-A Medical Center hosted a special Veteran's Day Program but it began with a moment of silence for those killed and wounded in Killeen last week.
The program focused on thanking area Veteran's for their service and included emotional speeches by Mayor Russ McEwen and Colonel David Rearick from Goodfellow Air Force Base.
Students from Goliad Elementary sang patriotic songs and one student received a special coin from the Colonel for being extra patriotic.
McEwen did apologize to Veterans because he felt more people should have attended and not just view the holiday as a day off of work.
