Program coordinator gives thanks

To the Editor:

On behalf of Lincolnview Schools, I would like to take this time to thank our students, staff, and community members for helping to make 12 years of honoring our Veterans a success. It was a privilege to have so many Veterans present for our program.  I am grateful to every person who brought a Veteran with them, submitted a name of a Veteran, or paid tribute to their Veteran in our memorial portion of the program.

I am very proud of our fourth grade students who sang the National Anthem under the direction of Mr. Scott Turner as well as our incredible concert band who performed March of the Armed Forces and Mansions of the Lord under the direction of Mr. Mike Archinal.

Our keynote speakers were Cameron and Mary Moore from Honor Flight Northeast Indiana. We enjoyed learning more about this amazing organization and are excited to donate to this cause which will allow for more Veterans to take this incredible trip. If you are a Veteran or have a Veteran you would like to submit for an Honor Flight, please visit: www.hfnei.org for more information and an application form.

I would also like to acknowledge our very generous program sponsors. Without the amazing support from these businesses, organizations, and families – this program would not be possible.
