SJNMA will Honor Veterans with Flag Pageant
St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy will honor our
nation’s veterans with its annual SJNMA Salute to Veterans and Flag Pageant.
The community and all our nation’s veterans are invited as the Academy joins
with the City of Delafield’s Cushing Elementary School as a way to instill a
sense of pride and patriotism in our nation’s youth.
Part 1: Salute to Veterans
SJNMA cadets will honor the Academy’s alumni veterans as
well as all Wisconsin veterans. The ceremony will recall the events and
sacrifices made by veterans of all wars starting with World War I and ending
with the current War on Terror. Guidon bearers for each conflict will be
dressed in uniforms identified for each conflict. The segment will conclude
with a 21-gun salute and taps in honor of fallen veterans and those who served.
Part 2: All Uniformed Services Flag Pageant The fourth
grade class from Cushing Elementary School will perform a Medley of Patriotic
American Melodies. SJNMA cadets will individually parade colors from each of
the U.S. Armed Forces during the flag pageant. The SJNMA Choir will sing each
service’s song while all veterans who served in that service stand to be
recognized for their contribution to our nation. Cub Scout Den #20 from Cushing
Elementary School will carry in our national colors followed by the playing of
the National Anthem.
SJNMA cadet bagpipers will play a closing tune as the
flags and guidons exit.
