Ceremonies to honor local Veterans were held throughout the Uintah Basin on Wednesday for Veterans Day with many of those happening at local schools. Maeser Elementary held their annual Veterans Assembly with students singing songs and the focus on honoring those that have protected our freedom. Eagle View Elementary welcomed Sophia Buffalo, Johanna Jenkens, and the Red Spirit drum group for a special flag ceremony to honor Veterans. The Red Spirit group also participated in the Veterans ceremony at Lapoint Elementary along with speakers and singing by the students. The American Legion presented a flag ceremony at the Ashley Elementary Veterans Day program and the Ashley Elementary choir gave a beautiful musical presentation. Naples Elementary and Vernal Middle School also held similar programs honoring Veterans and showing respect and appreciation during a special assembly. These and many more schools held ceremonies or put up displays honoring Veterans. Uintah Middle School, for example, hung up large flags in the commons area representing each branch of the military. Well done to all that took the time to recognize the Veterans who have sacrificed for our safety and freedom.
