Patriot Day 2018 was honored at schools across the Vestal Central School District with a moment of silence. At Glenwood Elementary School, students and staff held their annual ceremony as well, with Cub Scouts solemnly performing the flag ceremony.
Special guests at Glenwood Elementary's ceremony were members of the Vestal Fire Department. In full dress uniform, they flanked Cub Scouts from Pack 243 who carried the folded flag out to the school's flag pole. Fire trucks were lined up in the background as the Scouts raised the flag to half-mast.
This tribute help our students recognize the sacrifice that fellow Americans have made for our country and our freedom.
