During a heartfelt Veterans Day assembly at White Sands School, Col. Donyeill A. Mozer, the esteemed Garrison Commander of White Sands Missile Range, took the stage alongside representatives from each military branch.
The atmosphere was charged with respect and gratitude as speakers shared moving personal stories highlighting their experiences and sacrifices during their military careers. Mozer captivated the young audience by explaining what Veterans Day truly means, emphasizing the importance of honoring those who have served and protected the nation.
"Veterans Day is a special time to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served in our country's military. They are called veterans and come from all kinds of places and backgrounds, just like each of you," said Mozer as he addressed the students.
"Veterans Day is not just honoring the veterans for all the hard work they do; it also a time to remember the freedoms we enjoy today like going to school, playing outside and being with family are possible because of their sacrifices," continued Mozer. "If you see a veteran today, say thank you for your service."
The event concluded with students proudly lining the hallway, their spirits high as veterans walked down, exchanging joyful high-fives with each child. Cheers erupted as the kids waved their flags in heartfelt appreciation.
