Sunday afternoon, a ceremony honored fallen Korean War Veterans in Austintown.

One hundred and twenty names were read, as roses and a wreath were placed at the Korean War Memorial on Wickliffe Circle.  Dozens of people braved the raindrops to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to their country.  A bag pipe, and a 21-gun salute were also part of the ceremony. 

The ceremony is held each year at the end of June to commemorate veterans of the Korean War.
