Ball honors Winchester veterans FacebookTwitterEmail WINCHESTER — Military veterans were honored Feb. 13 during Winchester’s first Veterans’ Ball. Veterans, dressed in uniform or formal attire, and their guests enjoyed a night of remembrances, speeches, food and dancing. The evening began with photos, the presentation of the flags, and a walk-in parade before Matt Barber, an Army veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, welcomed those attending. Going table by table, guests offered toasts to those who have lost their lives in battle, to present military members, and to the wives, friends and family who write letters and send care packages to their deployed loved ones.
