The DeWitt County Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is hosting a Saturday veteran's roundtable discussion to highlight the stories of local veterans.

Edith Brady-Lunny with DAR says the event will be this Saturday at 2 pm at the American Legion building in Clinton. It will highlight a trio of local veterans, moderated by Nelson Thorpe, a veteran himself.

Brady-Lunny says the idea for this stemmed from some successful community forums they held in conjunction with the Prairie Flyers exhibit at the CH Moore Homestead. She believes you cannot highlight veterans and their stories enough.

Thorpe says he hasn't heard the stories of his fellow veterans that will be a part of this event. He believes it will be good to hear about the experiences these individuals had.

The event is again, Saturday, Nov. 12 at the American Legion building in Clinton at 2 pm.
