WASILLA — Walking into the American Legion Post 35 that Dec. 8 was like walking into history as they stood there to be honored on Remembrance Day, the bravest of brave.
Students at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School in Wasilla rehearsed for months in preparation for this day. Each branch of the service was recognized with the majority being honored with their company song. Those who recognized their embedded branch of service song gave a proud wave of recognition. Sudents belted out the ballads as many sang along.
During the singing of “God bless America,” hands were grasped together in honor and service. Few had a dry eye and students will forever remember the day they came together to give tribute to those not forgotten.
