Veterans honored at Cherokee Bend

The auditorium at Cherokee Bend School was a sea of red, white, and blue for the annual fourth-grade Veterans Day program.  

The pledge of allegiance and “Star-Spangled Banner” were the kickoff for the program, followed by presentations of family members who have fought for our freedoms. Each was  honored for their service. 

More than 40 veterans were in attendance from all branches of the military, some proudly donning their uniforms.  As in years past, the program helped to instill a sense of pride in being an American.
