The sixth annual Veterans Day Assembly was held Nov. 7 in the gym at Meade County High School. Following a luncheon, veterans of every military branch proudly paraded into the gym as students and faculty cheered. The event, organized by Jason Scott’s AP U.S. History class, is held each year to honor veterans of the past and present. Veterans of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard were all recognized. Veterans Richard Lawson and Loyd Sedoris received special recognition for their recent participation in the Honor Flight which took place in October. Guest speakers included Col. David Hubner, Fort Knox, and Army veteran Roger Furnival. The MCHS band provided patriotic music and members of the MCHS Barber Shop sang, “My Country ’tis of Thee.” oSha Shireman recited a brief history of Veterans Day and read her winning essay, “What Veterans Day Means to Me.” Dan Molnar, Flaherty, played “Amazing Grace” and “Hyfradol” on the bagpipes as a list of fallen Kentucky veterans was read.
