The annual FHS Veterans assembly was held last Thursday in the Spartan Gym.

Veterans and others attending were treated to musical numbers, a slide show, as well as speeches and poems presented by students.

The USCG Station Quillayute River was in charge of presenting the colors and QVSD staff member Cherish Varlack sang the National Anthem.

A magnificent new flag was unfurled from the rafters of the Spartan Gym during the Veteran’s Assembly on Thursday afternoon.
