Veterans were hosted by the Monroe Elementary Student Council (Adrian Hawk advisor) whose memebers greeted the veterans at the door and served them breakfast at their tables.
Monroe's veterans program included a reading of an American Legion speech about veterans by Monroe Elementary principal Mark Bailey; a musical program under the direction of Monroe music teacher Sally Lindsley; and a touching reading by Monroe teacher Barbara Holman of Gary Forsee's poem 'Purple Heart' to World War II veteran Joe Golfman, a three-time recipient of the Puble Heart medal.
