Keizer schools honor veterans

“This is priceless. This is re-
ally what it’s all about,” said Art
Cummins after he and nearly
50 other military veterans were
greeted to a standing ovation by
Claggett Creek Middle School
students at an assembly on
Thursday, Nov. 10.
Cummins, now a lawyer in
Salem, was in the Air Force for
11 years during the Vietnam
War. As a member of Ameri-
can Legion Post 136, he has
attended Claggett Creek’s Vet-
eran’s Day assembly the past
four years.
“We just think it’s a fabulous
activity,” Cummins said. “It’s
what we do, celebrate veterans
and help in whatever way we
can. We’ve been in the class-
rooms with them and they ask
serious questions about our
experience, about what the ser-
vice is today and some of those
kids will go and serve and take
advantage of the GI bill and
things like that when they get
out. It’s not a bad job today.”
McNary High School also
honored veterans Thursday
with Living History Day.
Collin Roberts and Pearl
Prinslow, cadets in McNary’s
AFJROTC, performed an
armed drill routine for the
guests and other cadets es-
corted veterans to classrooms
to share stories of their service.
The MHS band played Stars and
Stripes and America the Beautiful.
