ChinoDon Lugo FFA
Salute to Our
Veterans for
Veteran’s
Day
Submitted by Cody Armstrong
The Don Lugo Chapter officers
and members assisted in Riverside National Cemetery’s “A Flag for All Heroes”
flag placement ceremony on November 7th. Members and officers placed
flags on the markers of America’s heroes in recognition of the service that they
provided our country. Several families, friends and supporters were there and
proud to be part of this event that promotes gratitude to our Nation’s military
families. One of the most rewarding parts of the day was being able to meet
with the other community members and families that were also helping with
the flag placement. This is an activity that we will not soon forget and hope to
repeat next year.
Jackson-Argonaut FFA
Because of the Brave
By Brittany Gold
On November 7th our FFA chapter volunteered
at a clay shoot in celebration of Veterans Day. Our
members took advantage of this opportunity to make
a difference in our community and to honor those who
give so much for us. While our members were helping
with score cards, raffles and decorating, some were
delivering water to shooters on the course and helping
serve lunch. A few of our members participated in
Honor Guard. This was a fun and humbling event.
Our members met and got to know the veterans of our
community, and be part of a ceremony to honor our
fallen soldiers. It was a learning event as well. We
had the opportunity to learn about the POW MIA table
and what it symbolizes. Argonaut FFA “holds an in-born
fondness” for our members of the Armed Forces, and
are glad we could help make a difference in our home
town. We are excited to volunteer and participate at
the Ione Veterans Memorial Walk this spring.
