I'm older than that, Rockwood Summit senior Megan Ball said as retired Navy veteran James Hare showed her the photo on his nametag of himself at age 16, when he joined the Navy. Hare, along with about 80 other veterans attended the annual Veterans' Day Luncheon Celebration at Rockwood Summit High School Thursday afternoon.  I love hearing their stories, you can get a sense of what it might have been like for them, Ball said. This is the fifth year of the luncheon put on by the school's DECA marketing organization.
