A crowd of about 150 residents gathered on Durham's town green Sunday morning to honor veterans.

The Veterans Day service included several brief memorial tributes as well as a reading of the origins of Veteran's Day. First Selectman Laura Francis read The Nobel and the Brave, a poem about veterans written by Joanna Fuchs.
