Former VFW Commander Helps Missoulians Remember Veterans Day
By Graham Coppes, 11-11-08
Wilburn Knutson, or W.C. as he prefers to be called, spent the Veterans Day holiday honoring U.S. war veterans. In observance of the holiday W.C. made a trip to the Village Center nursing home, dispersing a handshake and flag to each of the center’s 38 residents who are veterans. Knutson is a past commander of the Montana Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and has made this honorary tradition an annual Veterans Day event. In addition, elementary school children were present to recognize the veterans’ service with song and dance. NewWest.net photographer Graham Coppes was there to document the event.
