The Veterans Day banquet was an outstanding success! Although we can never fully repay the sacrifices they have made, we gave a valiant effort in making the veterans who attended feel appreciated. There was a hot meal with sweet rolls, gravy and a delicious cupcake. There were speeches, tributes and prayers all in honor of our veterans. The band and choir both gave fantastic and patriotic performances. The most moving scene, however, was during the playing of Taps. The room was silent other than the majestic sound of the trumpets. Many of the veterans slowly began to stand, and several people began to shed tears. I would like to thank all the veterans for their attendance!
