High school youth
honor vets
To the Editor:
The program at the high school for veterans was out
standing. 1 was very proud of the students for the respect
they showed our vets.
They seemed to really enjoy it all, even serving the
lunch. We were all kindly welcomed and, at the finish,
without prompting, they stood and gave our vets a great
round of applause.
Good job students,
Mary Jean McCabe, Heppner
