Gov. Greg Gianforte honored three local veterans for their service at a Patriot Day ceremony Wednesday in downtown Kalispell that marked the 23rd anniversary of 9/11.
Each year, the governor acknowledges Montana veterans for their commitment to service, both in uniform and out of it. This year, 39 veterans were chosen to be recognized, including three Flathead Valley residents.
While the morning was a time to reflect on the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Gianforte said it was also a time to recognize the people who continue to serve after the tragedy.
