VETERANS
DAY PROGRAM
NINETY SIX HIGH SCHOOL 12 November 2015 For the fourth
consecutive year, cadets from
Emerald High School traveled to
Ninety Six High School to play a
major role in their Veterans Day
Program. In addition to
presenting and retiring the colors,
the cadets honored each of the
military services by posting their
flag. A special tribute was
given to Vietnam Veterans. A
cadet walked the audience through
how Vietnam Veterans were
treated when they returned to
America during the latter stages of
the war. All Vietnam Veterans
in attendance were asked to stand
and they received a thundering round
of applause as the cadet repeatedly
said, "Welcome Home". In the
latter half of the program, the
cadets sang a solo, "America the
Beautiful", read a poem, and ended
the ceremony with the playing of the
Armed Forces Medley. The
twenty cadets that traveled and
performed at Ninety Six included top
row (l-r) Hackett, Conklin, Piland,
Hackett, Vest, Gordon, Davis,
Darragh; second row (l-r) Tucker,
Assele, Henderson, Pietrowski,
Williams, Latham, Elson, Cockrell;
first row (l-r) Lawson, Seabolt,
Lewis, Gingrich,
Hernandez.
