Veterans program at Campobello Gramling

Published 10:10 am Wednesday, May 1, 2013

On April 10 Campobello Gramling School held a veterans program. During the event, veterans came to talk to the fifth and eighth grade students. Mr. David Whitaker, social studies teacher, started this event several years ago to pass along the living history that veterans have to share with youth. Many of the veterans come back year after year because they love the connection they make with the students. The students that take part in this event love to hear the stories the veterans tell because the people that tell the stories have lived them.
