Harlem H.S. Students Honor Vets

Harlem High School is hosting Veteran's Night at the football game on Friday, September 26.

It's always satisfying when you meet a young person with qualities that you know will help make them successful as adults. Harlem's Veteran Documentary and Film Production class is full of those types of students. These kids know the value of America's veterans and they show them the respect they deserve. I'm happy to put the words 'respectful' and 'kids' in the same sentence anytime I can.

Students interview veterans from World War II, Korean War and the Vietnam War and then produce documentaries for themselves and their families. That is some noble work, if you ask me.
