HIGH
SCHOOL THAT NOT ONLY HONORED
CURRENT AND PAST MILITARY
MEMBERS, BUT ALSO THOSE IN THE
FUTURE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE
JEFFERSON HILLS COMMUNITY AND
THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL
HAVE
COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE
VETERANS DAY, NOT ONLY BRINGING
TOGETHER VETERANS AND THE
COMMUNITY, BUT HONORING THOSE
WHO ARE STILL SERVING,
AS WELL
AS SERVICE MEMBERS.
FROM PRESENTING THE COLORS
TO RAISING THE FLAG.
DOZENS
COMING TOGETHER TO HONOR
THE PAST, PRESENTS AND FUTURE
SERVICE MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED
FORCES.
IN
A CEREMONY LIKE THIS, WE
WANT PEOPLE TO BE PROUD OF WHAT
THEY'VE DONE AND REALIZE
THAT
THEY'RE APPRECIATED AND I
APPRECIATE THEM BEING A VETERAN
MYSELF.
THOMAS
JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL, A VETERAN OF THE
GULF WAR, KNOWING AND FEELING
FIRSTHAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
THANKED FOR SERVING.
THE JOB THAT THEY DO ENSURES
THAT EVERYBODY GETS TO DO THE
THINGS THAT THEY LOVE AND ENJOY
IN LIFE NOW, NOT
REALIZING WHAT
PEOPLE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST
AND WHEN YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR
THAT, IT KIND OF BRINGS THAT
PRIDE AND THAT SPIRIT BACK
THAT
WHAT YOU DID.
EVEN INSPIRING THE
GENERATION.
HE IS ENTERING THE
NAVY.
THERE ARE UNCLES, AUNTS AND
GRANDFATHER
SERVING THE
COUNTRY.
AND I THINK IT WILL TAKE
JUST ONE DAY TO RECOGNIZE THE
INDIVIDUALS
AND THEIR
SACRIFICES THEY'VE MADE FOR OUR
COUNTRY.
AS THE BAND PLAYED,
CHOIRS
SANG AND VETERANS ABSOLUTE,
RECOGNIZED AN HONOR NEVER
FORGOTTEN ON THIS SPECIAL DAY.
WE THINK ABOUT
OTHERS, MEN
AND WOMEN THEY'RE WILLING TO
