Three valley veterans reflect on what Veterans Day means to them

Just 30 years after Teton County was founded, Denzil Burnside’s life in Teton Valley began.

Programs just for veterans remind him of how special the United States is to him. “It took people like me and everybody else and, [we] give up, die, for our country ... and it means so much,” he said. “People that serve in the country in the United States, they need to be proud of what they’ve done.”Veteran Michael Coyle, a 50-year local, also remembers his service, despite the confusion of serving in the Army during the Vietnam War.
