The City of Myrtle Beach honored our nation’s veterans with its annual Veterans Day ceremony on Monday.
The ceremony was held at the Plaza at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. This year’s guest speaker was retired Air Force Colonel Thomas C. “Buddy” Styers.
“We do everything we can for peace, and many people forget that the people who want peace the most is the military, because they know if there’s not peace what they will face, and it’s real important for everybody to remember that,” said Col. Styers.
Col. Styers also discussed the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Veterans Day is the day to celebrate veterans who are alive and Memorial Day is the day to remember veterans who died in service.
