From the Superintendent

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our veterans of foreign wars for their service, dedication, and loyalty to our nation. America's great experiment at self-governance is made possible only because of the men and women who have bravely served our nation in order to keep the world safe for democracy. There are simply no words to express the gratitude to which we owe our veterans for their selfless acts of patriotism. They are, quite literally, living proof of the greatness of our national character.

The unfailing service and sacrifice made by our nation's military personnel, war veterans, and the soldiers who gave their lives in battle remind us that we cannot forget those who have placed themselves in harm's way to defend these freedoms. President Abraham Lincoln said it this way:

“Honor to the soldier, and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor to him…who braves for the common good the storms of Heaven and the storms of battle.” 

Please join me in honoring, with deep gratitude and respect, the selfless and courageous service of our nation's veterans of foreign wars.

Regards,
