Meadowbrook Elementary School held its 14th Annual Veterans Day Display with a museum-like setup in the school’s gymnasium. Upon entering, each student received a miniature American flag.
Several veterans from the Salisbury Senior Center in East Meadow and VFW Post 2736 attended the event. The veterans displayed their own personal artifacts from past wars, including hats, helmets, jackets, facemasks, medals, photos, maps, weapons and other memorabilia.
This event was coordinated by special education teaching assistant Donna Derry.
