This generation of hero’s will never be duplicated….
Selfless, honorable, loyal, God fearing, Americans…for the price that many of your fellow soldiers paid…
Thank you!
Great Job once again EWMS on another outstanding salute to our veterans! The Eagles and Chiefs family are shining example of how to appreciate Veterans Day. Not the, “Hey no school or a day off…let’s party and celebrate” , but you all actually stop and say thank you for your service to each and every Veteran that stops through. I truly miss serving as the Northview’s Army Recruiter and getting a chance to stop through to see my Eagle family on occasions. So much love from everyone: students, faculty, staff, and family members.
Thanks for sharing the story Northescambia.com. Brings back some great memories of previous Veteran Day programs. It’s also nice to see that some of the veterans before me that I have had the pleasure of meeting are still around.
I am glad to see you all give honor. Now I wish everyone would do the same thing.
To the men and women who have become our Nation’s Heroes through your great service, past, present and future. I Salute You and Thank You for the freedoms given to us by your sacrifices.
To Ernest Ward Middle, Northview High and all those who assisted in providing this program a Huge Thank You for your recognition of these assembled and all very honorable service members of the Armed Forces of the United States of America.
Hopefully, our history books and the teachers and parents will continue to instill in the youth of America the importance of service to your nation.
Lest we forget, All Gave Some, Some Gave All.
God Bless America and our Greatest Generation and those who follow.
