Roosevelt School teaches US Flag courtesies

Print

For the second year in a row, the staff at Roosevelt Elementary School enlisted the aid of Veterans Helping Veterans in teaching all the students there about simple and common courtesies when the Flag of America is used for any ceremony.

This year, there was also a contingent of active-duty Air Force to participate in the ceremony, which started at 9 am on May 24 in the playground area just east of the school.

The 302nd Civil Engineering Squadron from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado were led by Major Bryan Cooper, while David Cuellar of VHV put the students and audience through the military commands necessary to show proper respect.
