This year for Veterans Day the students and families of Fairview School District honored Veterans both known and unknown to them with a field of flags displayed outside of Fairview Middle School. Thank you to all the families who supported this recognition with flag purchases and donations. Your efforts raised a $600 donation for the Pennsylvania Soldiers' and Sailors' located here in Erie. Another thank you to the moms who gave their time and effort in support to this much deserved recognition. To those Veterans remembered in our field of flags, and to all Veterans far and wide, we thank you for your service and your sacrifice not only on Veterans Day, but every day.
