Veterans from different branches of the U.S. military were met with applause, big smiles, praise, and gratitude as they paraded through classrooms, one after another, at South Valley School today. Many of the veterans were family, friends, or employees of South Valley, and the students and staff were eager to ask them some questions and most importantly, thank them for their service. The veterans delivered small flags to every student they encountered. Some classes gave the veterans a small gift and hand-written cards of thanks.
It was a proud and emotional show of support for the men and women who sacrificed for our country in order to protect the many freedoms we all enjoy today!
