McAleer III Edgar Moran David Allen Trinkala George Thomas Verdinek This is the third year a group of Chartiers Valley students has taken the time to research our local veterans and share their stories with our school and our community. During the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years, groups of students researched veterans from our community who lost their lives in World War II and the Korean War. And, this year, students are researching veterans from our community who served and lost their lives in the Vietnam War. On Friday, May 27, at 10 a.m., Chartiers Valley will host a dedication ceremony to honor the sacrifice our local veterans have made for our country. It would like to invite all veterans in our community to attend this ceremony, and extend an invitation to the descendents of those memorialized on the plaque to attend and be recognized in honor of their loved one. Please contact the students at 412.429.3721 or [email protected] if you have any information about the local veterans listed above, or if you know of another veteran who attended Chartiers Valley and lost his/her life in the Vietnam War. 10 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Chartiers Valley SCOTT TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY UPCOMING EVENTS CONVERSATION SALON Monday, March 14, 1 – 3 p.m., Adults Join us for an informal, lively discussion.
