Norton, OH – State Representative Bill Roemer (R-Richfield) joined the City of Norton for its heartfelt Veterans Memorial Dedication Ceremony on Friday, July 4, 2025, to honor the brave men and women who served the country in all branches of the military.

The event featured a moving military service performed by the 555th Honors Detachment, paying tribute to local veterans and their families for their sacrifice and service.
