Huddleston to honor local veterans As the nation prepares to honor its veterans Nov. 11, students at Huddleston Elementary are preparing a special tribute to the men and women of the Unites States armed forces. At 8:30 a.m. on Veteran's Day, members of the military, both active and retired, are invited to attend the special ceremony at the school. The morning will be filled with patriotic music provided by the McIntosh High School band. Third-grade students are scheduled to give a vocal performance of the song "American Tears" and the entire school will participate in special activities honoring the military personnel in attendance. Throughout the day following the ceremony students will hear from community members who have served in the armed forces as they share their experiences as well as discuss the history and significance of Veteran's Day. The community is invited to attend the celebration. Anyone who would like additional information about the event, or who would like to share their military experiences with Huddleston's students, can contact Barbara Harris at 770-631-3255.
