Harbor View Conducts Annual Veterans Day Assembly

In what has become a patriotic tradition, Harbor View Elementary School held its annual Veterans Day assembly this morning. Students invited family members, neighbors and friends to visit the school, where the students sang patriotic songs and honored those who have served in the military.

“I liked watching all the veterans say where they served,” said sixth-grader Roman Hays. “It is really nice how so many veterans came and shared their story.”

Sixth-grader Nikhil Yerasi said it was important to show respect to veterans. “I also enjoyed the singing, and hearing the veterans’ stories,” he said. “One in particular that astounded me was (a veteran who) lost many of his friends while in service, and 116 of them were eaten by sharks. That scared me.”
