About 150 middle school students from Madrona K-8 School visited the Northwest Veterans Museum at Lynnwood’s Heritage Park on Pearl Harbor Day, Friday, Dec. 7.
According to museum docent Richard Clark, the event — sponsored by City of Lynnwood Parks and Recreation, the Snohomish County Visitors Center and the Northwest Veterans Museum — gave the students a chance to view military displays inside the museum and also learn about the region’s history at Heritage Park.
The goal was to provide students “with a better understanding of the area growth and also what sacrifices were made by service members to allow them to enjoy the freedom that we have today,” Clark said.
We have so many of these veteran men and women to be thankful for, for,giving what they did to secure peace in the world and in our countries and lives. Their ranks are thinning due to age but what they accomplished must never be forgotten. Our women were the pilots that ferried the fighter and bomber planes to Europe and Asia where they were awaited and needed for engagement.
May peace be with all of them.
