EHOVE honors Veterans
By Kendra Ward
The students and staff at EHOVE appreciate those who have served our country. Government and Economics teacher Ginger Packert had the idea to create a wall honoring local veterans as a way to say thanks. She and some students put together an area in EHOVE's high school building a couple of years ago.
Mary Rose and Haley Campbell, both of New London High School, thought the veterans wall was a nice idea and wanted to help improve it. So, they took it down and started over.
Rose and Campbell are enrolled in EHOVE’s Visual Communications Design program. They used the graphic design skills they learned in the program to create the wall, which includes individual cards for each veteran that feature his/her photo, name, rank, branch of service, years in service, conflict served and awards won. Those who attended EHOVE also have a special notation.
Veterans on the wall include EHOVE staff and former students, and community members. Veterans in the area that would like to be included on the wall are invited to send their information to EHOVE. Family and friends that would like to honor a veteran are also encouraged to send in the veteran’s information.
Please include the veteran's name, branch, rank, years served, conflict served, and special military awards. Also, let us know if the veteran attended EHOVE and what program. If the veteran is connected to EHOVE in another way, we'd like to know that too. Don't forget to include a photo!
Send the information and a photo to Ginger Packert at gpackert@ehove-jvs.k12.oh.us or 316 W. Mason Road, Milan, OH 44846.
