A crowd in the sanctuary at Easthaven Baptist Church Thursday joined similar groups around the nation for a minute of silence to remember the fallen military service members, the prisoners of war and those missing in action and to honor those who served and are serving now. “Our mission today, soldiers, is to remember the fallen, to honor those who serve and to teach our children the value of freedom,” said Terrance Turner, who organizes the annual Wreaths Across America wreath-passing ceremony. Turner is a Walmart Distribution Center transportation manager who served in the armed forces for six years.
