Veterans representing all branches of the military gathered at Sullivan High School for the annual Careers English Class sponsored Veterans Day observation

•November 13, 2019•

The Sullivan High School Career English Class Veterans Day assembly featured Navy Lieutenant Andrew Sparrow and presentation of the Charter Member Project to the American Legion.
Lt. Junior Grade Sparrow just returned home from the Middle East and noted in 2005 he was among the students assembled for Veterans Day. His 18 months serving the Navy in the Middle East changed his perspective.
Sparrow explained the courage of the veterans seated before him was not only displayed on the battlefields, but also by the support of the mothers, fathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters at home.
“We are thankful to those who made the ultimate sacrifices by putting everyone before themselves,” Sparrow emphasized.
Some 100 students of Rebecca Lawson, Cami Badman and Marsha Kirby volunteered to find information on 79 charter members of the American Legion Post 68 for their 100th anniversary.
