Veterans Day Event

This sounds like a great event. We probably need more info.

Higley Unified School District cordially invites you to attend a special event on November 9^th, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. in Gilbert, Arizona at 2935 S. Recker Rd. 85295. This event is to honor those who served and to those who paid the ultimate price! We hope that by attending this years’ event you might better understand the exposure and value this event has on Arizona youth and our communities.

The Higley Unified School District #60 located in Gilbert, Arizona is hosting our annual Veterans Day Celebration at the Football Stadium at Higley High School. This event has drawn thousands of people every year; most of them are Veterans from World War II, Korean War, Viet Nam War, Desert Storm, and the more recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Rain in the Ranch, Updated Again!
