On Friday, Nov. 11, Liberty held an assembly to honor its veterans who have served for our country. Liberty honored many men and women during the assembly including some of our own staff members.

Luther Morris, a Marine veteran and LHS custodian, was a first responder on 9/11 when the plane crashed into the Pentagon.

“I could see the people running out of the building,” he said.  He says that while people were running away other military members ran to the disaster site to help those in need.

Veteran Michael Stone was one of the many veterans in attendance. He was in the Navy for six years.

“It really changes you,” Stone said. “You see life from a new perspective.”

Mr. Nelson personally presented a certificate to a son who lost his father in Vietnam.

If you see a veteran, thank them for their service. For the courage they had during the hard times and for risking their lives for our country.
