Oak Hill, WV (WOAY) – Students at Oak Hill Middle School spent Tuesday morning learning about the meaning of Veterans Day.
The school held an assembly on the history of the holiday and the personal sacrifice that military service requires.
Veterans in attendance were recognized for their service, including members of the school staff and parents.
The assembly also honored prisoners of war and service members missing in action with a Missing Man Table. In the military tradition, which grew out of the Vietnam War, a small table is set for one. Each item on the table represents those who never came home and the families still waiting for them.
Veterans Day is Nov. 11.
