Flag Pole and Monument Dedication

Tri Star students and staff took a few moments today to dedicate the flag poles and a special monument at new Tri Star building. Tom and Betty Leininger donated the flag and monument for the front entrance in remembrance of all current and former men and women who have served in the military. Mr. Leininger, who spoke briefly, expressed his gratitude to those who serve or have served, reminding students that it was their sacrifice that made the students education possible. He asked them to take advantage of their education. Honor Guard from the Celina and Wapakoneta VFW posts were on hand to honor and raise the flags while the Celina Marching Band provided music including a medley of each military branch. Tri Star would like to thank the Leiningers for their generous donation of the flag poles and momument, the Celina and Wapakoneta Honor Guard, Miller's Funeral Home (St. Marys), and the Celina High School Marching Band for their contribution to the ceremony today. And, thank you to all our military heroes past and present.
