Veteran's Day Memorial Service



On Monday, at Riverbend Middle School, they had an assembly to remember and honor our veterans. It was very moving. There are 2 teachers at the school that are veterans and I say thank you! I say thank you to all veterans! Ms. Hamiliton put together a slideshow that had relatives of the rest of the staff at the school and my grandfather was one of those pictures. I can not describe the mood in the gymnasium this afternoon. It was pretty silent, which hardly ever happens with a school full of 7th and 8th graders. The Beta Club presented the program and they did a great job. The ROTC from Bunker Hill came over for the pledge and the National Anthem. They also played Taps, which I don't think you can listen to without crying. So all of this to say, there were several reporters there and the school made the news at 5:30 on channel 3 news. I was pretty impressed. If you have a chance this week or know any veterans, tell them to drive by the school and see the memorial that they have placed around the parking lot.



I have provided two websites to check out: 1st one : is the article and 2nd one : is the video that was televised on WBTV
