This morning, the Palmyra War Memorial Committee & the Borough of Palmyra made their annual salute to our fallen veterans. Palmyra Middle & High School Students helped to keep the focus on remembrance, gratitude, and respect for the fallen heroes.
As part of the outdoor ceremony, Palmyra Middle School Memorial Day Essay winners, Ben Dickinson & Lila Hemmons each read their tributes aloud, both mentioning their grandfathers' stories.
The award winning Palmyra Marching Band played the National Anthem, along with the anthems of the branches of service: Army, Navy, AirForce, Marines & Coast Guard. They were particularly proud that they had secured the music to the Coast Guard anthem just this year.
We are #PalmyraProud that our students take part in this very special remembrance & Principal, Mr. Licata shared that, "We are thrilled to continue the tradition." Something this special draws many local families & really puts the holiday into thoughtful perspective.
