V.F.W. Post 3319

Mr. Willie Rowe (pictured) and other members of V.F.W. Post 3319 of Kaukauna visited students at St. Aloysius Campus of the Kaukauna Catholic to thank them for the beautiful cards the students sent them thanking the veterans for the campuses new American flag. Each veteran shared their story and saluted the children. Mrs. Helen Kortz led the school with a prayer for veterans and Fr. Jerry Pastors gave them a special blessing. The pledge of Allegiance was recited and everyone sang God Bless America with motions. The children then saluted the veterans. Afterwards students and staff shared handshakes and hugs with the veterans thanking them for their sacrifices for our country. A beautiful and touching ceremony was experienced by all.
