Dinner and a song for our vets

Howard D. Richards Sr., and Ronnie Baker

Ignacio Middle and High School students (above) enjoyed their time performing for all the veterans in the crowd.

The Ignacio High School Choir sang each song for each branch of the military. Veterans were asked to stand when they heard their branch song.

Howard D. Richards Sr., was one of the many veterans who attended the Veterans Dinner held at the Ignacio Middle School Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Southern Ute veterans Howard D. Richards Sr., and Ronnie Baker got their food after being a part of the Color Guard for the Ignacio Community’s Veterans Day Dinner & Concert, Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Ignacio High School Principal, Melanie Taylor, read a letter titled, “I Refuse” and “Sacrifice, Suffering and Strength: The Story of an Ex-POW” from her cousin, James “Bill” Bailey who has served in the Military.
