Faculty, staff and students at Plano's Faith Lutheran School gathered on Wednesday, November 11 with military veterans, special guests and others for a special program recognizing the service of our country's veterans.

"This event was a way for us to show our respect for our country and to express our thanks to veterans who have given so much so that we may enjoy many freedoms," said Faith Lutheran School Headmaster Rev. Stephen W. Kieser of Wylie.

Students started the day with an all-school chapel worship service, then attended an all-school assembly featured a flag folding ceremony to teach students the meanings of each of the 13 folds of a flag in that ritual, the National Anthem was presented by the Faith Lutheran School Choir, and 21 veterans representing all branches of the military and many different wars participated in the event. U.S. Navy veteran and Plano City Council Member Tom Harrison also presented a proclamation to the school on behalf of Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere.
