Everett Brazil, III/The Newkirk Herald Journal

Newkirk Public Schools honored area veterans Friday morning, Nov. 11 for the annual Veterans Day assembly, to thank them for their service. The school choir performed the National Anthem, as well as each Military branch’s song. Speaking at the assembly was Sgt. Brian Grant, Oklahoma Army National Guard. Veterans in attendance proudly had their picture taken with FFA members. Many would later enjoys a hot lunch of ham and beans at First Christian Church.
