For several years the Merrimack Valley Middle School in Penacook has been hosting a Veteran’s Assembly to recognize veterans for their sacrifices and service to our country. In attendance are many local veterans including residents of John H. Whitaker Place Assisted Care Community. As the Activities Director at Whitaker Place I escort these residents to the assembly. We were so happy to be invited once again this year! The students, teachers and all involved do a wonderful job in making the vets feel welcome and appreciated. There could be no better lesson for the students than to honor our veterans and to understand what they’ve been through and sacrificed for our country. I find it a very moving program and I know from escorting our residents to the assembly today what it meant to them. Much more than can really be understood. Kudos to everyone involved and thank you!
