Veterans To Be Honored by Perimeter School

Perimeter School will host their 18th annual Veterans Day program on Thursday, Nov. 15, 2011, honoring all Veterans of the Armed Forces.


            This year we are honored to have Major Jeff Strueker, survivor of the raid on Mogadishu and of Black Hawk Down fame, as our guest speaker. Major Strueker served as a chaplain with the elite Army Rangers for over ten years. His Army experience includes service in Panama, Kuwait, Somalia, and multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraqi.


            The Perimeter Veterans Day Program is a community event, open to the public. The purpose of this program is to honor and celebrate the service and sacrifice of our American Veterans, as well as to provide a legacy of honor and history for students and the people in their greater Atlanta community. Last year, over 2,100 people attended the program with more than 230 veterans from all branches of the military.
