On Nov. 11, students from Watson Williams Elementary took a meaningful walk to the Veterans Memorials along Memorial Parkway in the City of Utica to honor the brave service members who have served our country.
During their visit, students had the opportunity to explore the various memorials, learn about the sacrifices made by our veterans and reflect on the importance of service, courage and freedom.
Students also experienced the beautiful display of 1,000 American flags lining Memorial Parkway as part of the 12th Annual Flags for Heroes Healing Field.
A special thank-you to The Good News Foundation, along with the generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers who made this incredible tribute possible. Their efforts provide our community, especially our children, with a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve.
We are grateful to have such meaningful memorials right here in Utica, allowing our students to learn about history, patriotism and gratitude beyond the classroom.
To all our veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Today and every day, we honor you!
