A helicopter above, plus sirens and the thunder of motorcycles were heard in Sonoma on Wednesday afternoon as the town viewed the much anticipated arrival of the Cost of Freedom Traveling Wall—a memorial to veterans.

The procession, featuring fire engines and a Highway Patrol escort, made its way up Broadway and eventually to the Veterans Memorial Building.

The visit is sponsored by the local VFW Post. Events will continue through Nov. 11. For more information, visit this recent Patch article.
