Watch GHS bands, choirs celebrate Veterans
The performance can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mxx1Gpr40Y
Speakers included local Veteran Scott Guptil, and guest speaker U.S. Army retired JAG officer Colonel Jack Hammond. Hammond is the great grandson of Gladstone founder Harvey Cross, who served as Gladstone's second mayor.
"COVID prevented us from gathering with local Veterans this year, but we look forward to the day when we can welcome them back to Gladstone High," said Principal Kevin Taylor.
