Veterans Day Celebration Presents POW/MIA Chair ELIOT On November 9, Marshwood Middle School will host their 16th annual Veterans Day Celebration. The school-wide assembly, which starts at 9 a.m., will feature various tributes from students to local veterans. Most of the veterans are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and neighbors of our students. Local first responders and various dignitaries including state representatives, local politicians and school board members will attend the celebration to honor our veterans. Last year, there were over 400 guests in attendance. The celebration highlights the dedication of those who continue to defend america's freedoms and honor those who have unselfishly served

America in the past. At the start of the celebration, all guests will form a reception line at 8:30 a.m.; then each student will pass through the line shaking hands and welcoming the guests. The reception line emphasizes a personal touch for every student to come in contact with the guests. After everyone gathers in the gym, the Eliot Police Honor Guard posts the Colors, and for the next hour several tributes are presented from the students to our veterans in musical selections, video presentations and readings. After the assembly, an amazing luncheon is served in the cafeteria where the students serve the veterans and dine with them. Following the luncheon, the veterans are in-
vited to stay and share their stories with eighth graders in their classrooms. At 1:30 p.m., Rolling Thunder, in coordination with Hussey Seating of North Berwick, will present a special POW/MIA Honor Chair to the school. Marshwood is the only middle school in the state to be granted this special POW/MIA chair. There are several arenas around the country that have this type of chair displayed, such as Gillette Stadium, TD Garden, Smithsonian Institute, Hadlock Field and Penn State. Hussey Seating is donating this special chair that will remain perpetually empty to remind all that even though our soldiers are not here, there is still a place for them.
