Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank the courageous men and women who have served in our nation’s Armed Forces. Their sacrifices and commitment to safeguarding our freedoms serve as a powerful reminder of the values we hold dear.
Let us take this opportunity to reflect on their dedication and inspire our students with the same spirit of service.
With gratitude to all veterans,
Kerry Boyd,
YKSD Superintendent
