Gibson Social Committee
In observance of Veterans Day, students from Norwich Middle School visited multiple monuments located in East and West Side Parks in downtown Norwich. During their visit, students explored the historical significance of several conflicts, spanning from the American Revolution to Operation Desert Storm. They had the opportunity to reflect on the names of individuals who served and sacrificed their lives for the country, fostering a deeper appreciation for those who dedicated themselves to national service. Additionally, students were encouraged to attend the Veterans Day ceremony in downtown Norwich on Monday at 11:00 a.m. To round out their experience, they took a brief tour of the Chenango County Courthouse, further enriching their understanding of local history and civic institutions.
Thank you to all who have served.
