Veterans Honored at Old Mission Peninsula School – Photos

The staff and kids at Old Mission Peninsula School (OMPS) recently honored veterans at a Veteran’s Day ceremony in the school gym. More than 20 veterans were escorted into the gym by their kids, grandkids and friends, as their military background was read by Debra Hartley.

OMPS students sang songs, read poems, and asked questions of the veterans during a Q&A time at the end of the ceremony. One veteran noted that during all of his years in service and beyond, this is the first school program he’s ever been asked to participate in.

Here’s a photo gallery of the memorable event.
