Annual Veterans Day Program At HFCS

By

by Bea Peterson
As usual, the very moving Veterans Day program at Hoosick Falls Central School began with the entire Elementary School standing and singing “God Bless America” as students carrying American flags were followed into the high school auditorium by the Veterans to be honored. This year those veterans were active duty National Guard members and Afghanistan and Iraq veterans Matthew Sagendorf, Kevin Miller and Patrick Kelly. Sagendorf served in Iraq and Miller and Kelly served together in Afghanistan. Miller and Kelly were later introduced to the audience by their children, who attend the school at HFCS.
