(AP) -- OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Soldiers who died last week at Fort Hood and airmen who died 14 years ago in the Oklahoma City bombing were honored during Veterans Day ceremonies in Oklahoma.

At a ceremony on Wednesday at the 45th Infantry Division Museum, a single shot from a World War II-era cannon was fired in honor of the 13 Army soldiers killed by a gunman at Fort Hood in Texas.

Oklahoma National Guard Brig. Gen. Ricky Adams spoke during the ceremony.

At the Oklahoma City National Memorial, Air Force Maj. Gen. David Gillett Jr. attended a ceremony honoring Airman 1st Class Cartney J. McRaven and Airman 1st Class LaKesha R. Levy, who were among the 168 killed in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995.
