Southwestern Pennsylvania Registered Nurses Club had its 30th annual Veterans Day program Friday at the South Park Nurses War Monuments.

The guest of honor was Dr. Karin Warner of Peters Township, a retired captain in the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps and a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing.

As part of the ceremony, a floral wreath was placed at the monuments to remember all nurses who served in the military. The ceremony also included a 21-gun salute and music from Brad Wilson on the bagpipes.

Noreen Dott, who was in charge of the program, said about 30 people attended the ceremony, despite Friday’s heavy rain. “It was wet, but it went well,” Dott said.

The nurses were joined for this year’s ceremony by members of the Library Memorial VFW Post 6664. That post had a Purple Heart monument to honor combat-wounded veterans dedicated in August.
