CONWAY — Three hundred or more people turned out on a chilly, overcast Monday for this year's Veterans Day ceremony in North Conway's Schouler Park, where retired Air Force four-star Gen. Lori Robinson delivered a message of gratitude.
The half-hour ceremony took place at the conclusion of a parade that began by John H. Fuller Elementary School, then proceeded to the park at about 11 a.m. under gray skies with temperatures in the high 30s.
