Beyond the parades that filled area streets, Michiana marked Memorial Day with services and tributes to area veterans.

Veterans gathered for a special ceremony Monday at the Military Honor Park and Museum at South Bend Regional Airport.

People came out to honor veterans who have passed away, and thank the ones still with us.

A local congressman expressed his thanks for their dedication and love of country.

“Every one of you who have served have given tremendous honor, and love, and respect for this country. And we are grateful every single day for what you have done,” Congressman Joe Donnelly told the crowd.

The ceremony also included a placing of wreaths, a firing salute, and the playing of taps.
