NORTHWESTERN LEHIGH ELEMENTARY
FIRST ANNUAL VETERAN'S CELEBRATION
NOVEMBER 10TH 2017
Hats off to Mr. Maria Pulli and the elementary staff for a great assembly honoring veterans. It was a very enjoyable event for the veterans and also for the students. The fourth grade choir was very impressive with their singing performance.
The Keynote speakers were Joe Zeller a veteran of the Navy and David Keller Admiral U.S. Navy.
Joe Zeller is well known in the Lehigh Valley having been a mayor in Emmaus and served as a State representative for 5 terms. He is now 99 years and still active in his support of veterans issues as well as other issues effecting the community. He was on active duty in world War 2 and Korea. His active life no doubt has contributed to his longevity.
Many students had the opportunity to state their feeling concerning veterans, the flag and the United States.
This was a moving assembly for those veterans present. It was also a great learning experience for the students.
Again thanks is in order to Mrs. Pulli, the staff, Shawn Fies, the choir leader and all those that put so much effort into this assembly.
