Perimeter School to Honor Veterans

Veterans Day program taking place Thursday, Nov. 15.

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

This year the school at Perimeter Church is hosting Major Jeff Strueker, survivor of the raid on Mogadishu and of Black Hawk Down fame, as guest speaker. Major Strueker served as a chaplain with the elite Army Rangers for more than 10 years. His Army experience includes service in Panama, Kuwait and 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 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, some 2,100 people attended the program with more than 230 veterans from all branches of the military.

The Veterans Day program will be at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 15 at Perimeter Church, 9500 Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek.

A printed invitation with directions can be sent to an honored veteran by calling the Perimeter School office at (678) 405-2300, and leaving the full name and mailing address of the receipent.
