Students and staff at Rochester’s St. John Neumann School thanked local veterans for their service to our country during a Nov. 10 prayer service at the school. Veterans from each branch of the armed services were in attendance and stood at the front of the gymnasium, where they each were recognized and given a gift by students. Students also performed and sang songs in honor of the veterans, and teacher Mary Beth Sullivan played “Taps” on the trumpet. (Click here to view more photos from this event and/or buy prints.)
