In November, schools in Cardwell and Whitehall once again stepped up to the plate for the community with the annual Veteran's Day Program.
Local Veterans thanked the schools for their programs last week with special plaques.
United States Army and Coast Guard Veteran Garry Morris said the programs are not only important for those who have served or currently in the service, but also for the students. Morris presented Whitehall Superintendent John Sullivan, Principals Hannah Nieskens and Britt McLean, and Musical Director Janet Heilig with the plaque.
In Cardwell, Morris presented the plaque to teacher Seth Coombe and Musical Director Kayla Simon.
Students in Cardwell were also able to ask questions to Morris about his time in the service. Morris told the students he joined the Army when he first got out of high school, and served a total of 32 years. He discussed his time in Korea as well as working with missiles and tanks.
