1213 MBE Veterans Day
MBE students Ann Carlton Keller, Henry Phillips and Walker Phillips honor veterans Richard Keller (Air Force), former Mountain Brook Mayor William W. Matthews IV (Navy), current Mayor Terry Oden (Army) and Frederick W. Murray Jr. (Coast Guard) in celebration of Veteran’s Day at MBE.
Fifth grade students at Mountain Brook Elementary recently performed their annual musical program in appreciation and celebration of the dedication and sacrifice made by our veterans.
The salute to veterans included approximately 30 honored guests from every branch of United States military service. Following a slide presentation, flags representing these branches as well as the State of Alabama and the United States were installed by the fifth grade Color Guard. Led by music teacher Shari Dorsett, the audience enjoyed songs about our country, patriotism and American pride.
The show concluded with veterans in attendance coming to the stage when the theme song for the branch of service in which they served was played. Students then placed a flag pin on their honored veteran as the program closed with “Taps” to remember those who died during service for our country.
