The Greene County High School Student Council invites everyone to their Veterans Day program.

The event will be held at the high school auditorium at 8:15am Monday. The program will include the Pledge of Allegiance, performances by the high school band and choir, a poem read by a student council member and the keynote speaker will be U.S. Navy veteran Jeff Lamoureux. Student Council Secretary Ellie Madsen talks about the importance of having the high school student body attend the program.

“I think it’s really important for our generation to pay respect, in a way, to the people that fought for what we have now. Because we may take it for granted every once in awhile of ‘We have this. I have that.’ But someone fought to give us those rights, and for what we have now. So I think it’s just important for us to say, ‘Thank you.’”

A free breakfast will be served to all area veterans at the Ram Restaurant prior to the program starting at 7:30am.
