On the morning of the eve of Veterans Day, November 10, 2016, Ms. Marie Little\u2019s Automotive SkillsUSA Club members, along with the Pride of Pueblo (band) and our cheerleading team performed a flag-raising ceremony to honor those who serve and have served our country.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the following were honored: our Davis-Monthan airmen currently serving here in Tucson, and all of the veterans in our community. This event also paid homage to the Marine Corps\u2019 241st<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n

Later that day, just before the end of seventh period, Ms. Marie Little\u2019s Auto Club retired Pueblo\u2019s flag back to her auto classroom. The old American flag will be placed into a box and attached will be the names of former auto students currently serving in the military.<\/p>\n

Then, on Monday, Nov. 14, before first period, the new flags (U.S., Arizona and P.O.W.) were raised by students in the Pueblo Auto Club.<\/p>\n

Little said, \u201cAfter a few years of wear and tear, the flags desperately needed to be replaced to keep Pueblo to the highest standards of respect and dignity.\u201d She paused and added, \u201cI\u2019m very proud of my students taking charge and conducting themselves with genuine care and the utmost respect for the people who were honoring.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the students involved in this patriotic ritual, senior Gabriel Palomino, said, \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be part of the flag\u2019s retirement, especially after knowing that it had been flying over Pueblo\u2019s grounds for a long time. The flag means more than a piece of cloth to me; it represents our country and all of its glory, its struggles, triumphs and perseverance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
