On Thursday, Nov. 9, Claiborne High School opened their doors to veterans for breakfast followed by a program to honor those who have served our country in uniform.
Circuit Court Judge John McAfee addressed those assembled.
"Americans are special people because of the veterans you see here today," he added that statement is true of all veterans since the time of George Washington.
On Friday, Nov. 10, Cumberland Gap High School welcomed veterans with a midday snack before another impressive program.
Major Lee Brame (USA, Ret.) told the students and veterans that freedom seems to be slipping away.
"It's in your hands now," he added for the benefit of the students.
Veterans from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the current war in Iraq, and various peacekeeping missions over the years, agreed that both programs were well done. Many of them took the time to thank the students who worked so hard to put it together.
