Paul Knox Middle students honor local veterans
Aiken County schools are honoring our country's veterans all this week. One of the programs was at Paul Knox Middle School in the North Augusta. The students say the greatest gift they can give veterans is to not only say "thank you" but to truly understand what they have done for our country.
Kids gathered in the gym, some clapping and others waving flags. Eighth-grader Jacqueline Phillips says she's excited to be part of the festivity. "It shows that we have freedom in America, and we can do as we please, but I am really proud of all the veterans, so that's why it's so important to me." She says it's important to know the meaning behind the day. "The veterans have fought to protect this wonderful nation."
