Today in the high school auditorium there was a concert, speeches, special guest & videos. It was so beautiful done & well presented by the students.There was a choir with great songs & 1 solo that was superb. The band was great group of young students & the youngest was the trumpet player under 13.
The video was a PowerPoint of pics of 98 fallen Canadians in Afghanistan while the choir sang A Hard Rains Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan). Another PowerPoint they did was the school teachers holding an enlarge pic of a member of their family who fought in past wars, whether the 1st, 2Nd or Korean war. It was touching.
Capt Trevor Greene gave a short speech, he is now a quadriplegic. (March 2006)http://www.missingpeople.net/trevor_greene.htm
Let me tell you this was an emotional ceremony.
Prior to this we were all taken to lunch in the staff room. This is a yearly event & my first time. Of course I am the youngest 55+.
I have a nephew over there not in the military but with a private company. Another nephew who is graduating this month will be gong over there soon.
Pics were taken & will be posted when I get them.
