America has a sacred trust to care for those who defend her. From the warriors who stormed the beaches at Normandy on D-Day to the brave men and women returning from Iraq and Afganistan, our veterans share a legacy of service that crosses generational lines and upholds the values upon which our nation was founded: service to a cause greater than self.
All veterans and their families are invited to join the students and staff at Dahlstrom MS on Tuesday, November 10 for a Veteran's Day celebration. We will have coffee at 9:15 in the cafeteria for the adults, and then the students and teachers will enter the gym at 9:55. Each branch of service will walk into our gym accompanied by Dahlstrom boy and girl scouts and their service flag as our band plays the individual service anthems. The program will include many student led performances. Veterans who are relatives of Dahlstrom students are invited to stay after the ceremony for pictures.
Through service in uniform, veterans have invested of themselves in the security, safety, and well-being of our nation. Please join us as we honor and pay tribute to our veterans!
