The annual Veterans Day Assembly reflected the core of our Dragon DNA by honoring those who have served. With every student being military-connected, this event is more than a tradition; it is a heartfelt expression of gratitude.

The week began with our annual Veterans Day Assembly, a solemn tradition for our military-connected student body. The event featured outstanding collaboration between musicians, singers, and cadets. Special recognition goes to C/The Cumming and C/Stuhler for stepping in as masters of ceremonies, the color guard team, C/The Goenen for presenting the Voice of Democracy speech, C/Adriana Alejandro Diez and her 30-command team, and C/Scavola with his flag-folding team—comprised mostly of 8th grade cadets. Thank you to everyone who helped make this assembly meaningful and to all who joined us in honoring our veterans.

Our cadets continued to shine at the Cambridge American Cemetery Veterans Day Ceremony, where their professionalism and precision earned high praise from distinguished leaders. Brig Gen Arthaud (Wing Commander, RAF Lakenheath), Col Jewell (501st CSW Commander), and Col Fleming (423rd ABG Commander) personally commended our cadets for their exceptional performance. Their efforts did not go unnoticed and reflected the highest standards of respect and excellence.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event meaningful, and to all who joined us in honoring our veterans. 

To every veteran, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
