Somerset VoTech High has held an annual Proud to Be an American Day for the last 15 years. This year, students honored a Marine and an ROTC member who recently died.
Several students at Somerset Tech in Bridgewater, New Jersey, hosted the school's annual Proud to be an American Day. They talked to Good Day New York's Dan Bowens about the experience.A few weeks ago, some letters arrived in the FOX 5 NY newsroom and we could tell right away these were no ordinary messages.Bridgewater, New JerseyThis is a story about much more than a special event at a high school in New Jersey. This is a story about sacrifice.
The letters were part of a team effort from students here. It included sisters Sydney and Riley Sibilia on fundraising duty. Olivia Jaime and Amy Galdamez were part of the graphic design team. Jiya Mody and Grace Chen, both juniors, were on the letter-writing team and said they sent out more than 100.
"The program was really designed to show the students about the sacrifice from Memorial Day, we have some Gold Star families in the area, unfortunately, lost her son or daughter in combat," Graf said. "The students really were not aware of this type of sacrifice and what it really means for our nation so we really bring these families together and honor them."
