The Veterans Day Ceremony resulted successfully in the attendance of veterans from all around the Manu’a district. Veterans shared words of wisdom, promoting morale and determination to do good in school to set and gear up for a career path in the military. This development allowed the task force to build a network with school organizations, local community leaders, businesses, and feeder schools. By uniting in support, partnerships with the MHS Student Council, the people of the community, and the Veterans promoted JROTC growth mentally, physically, and financially.
