Hiland National Honor Society invites community to Veterans Day tribute Nov. 10

On Monday, Nov. 10 at 1:15 p.m. in the Perry Reese Jr. Community Center at Hiland High School, veterans will be honored, there will be musical numbers, the Hiland High School National Honor Society will share, and there will be a time of fellowship between the NHS members and veterans following a service that is always touching.

More importantly, it is a moment for the entire high and middle school student body, community, and others to celebrate and honor area veterans who have faithfully served their country.

“The Veterans Day service is open to the public, so all are welcome to attend,” said Zachary Rearick, East Holmes Local Schools director of instrumental music and National Honor Society adviser. “We would love for every veteran to join us.”

While the members of Hiland’s NHS are busy making lists and inviting veterans who served, they know they may not connect with all of them, so they are requesting that any service veteran who wasn’t contacted and would like to join to do so.

Rearick said any veteran who would like to be part of the ceremony may do so by calling the high school main office at 330-893-2626, and they will put their name on the list.

They will be asked to supply their name, service branch and some other minor details.

Rearick said while the call to all veterans is going out, they also are inviting everyone from the community to share in this touching tribute to those who served.

He said packing the Reese Center will help area veterans recognize how much the community cares about them.
