About:
A group of dedicated athletes from Mepham High School gathered at Long Island National Cemetery to pay tribute to the brave members of our armed forces. In a touching display of respect and gratitude, these students placed American flags at the gravesites, honoring those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
The athletes’ participation in this Memorial Day activity underscores the importance of remembering and acknowledging the service and sacrifices made by our military personnel. By taking the time to place flags and reflect on the meaning of this day, the students demonstrated a deep sense of community and patriotism.
Their actions serve as a powerful reminder of the significance of Memorial Day and the importance of honoring those who have given their lives in service to our nation. We are proud of our Mepham High School athletes for their commitment to this meaningful tradition and for setting a strong example of respect and honor for our fallen heroes.
