St Mary Catholic Community School held its annual Veterans Day Program on Friday, November 11th. Local veterans were welcomed to the school by flag waving preschoolers, before being led by a procession of Girl and Boy Scouts into the gym. As the first veterans entered the gym, they were met with a roaring standing ovation.
The students lifted their voices in song to sing each of the five branches of the military’s song to recognize the veterans as a part of their respective branch. The keynote address was given by Air Force Veteran, Dr. Nicholas Berns.
Dr. Berns delivered a captivating speech and slideshow about his years of service to his country and his local community.
