Friday Assembly - Special Guests

What an honor it was to hear from Medal of Honor recipient Doc Ballard, music artist Corrine Chapman, and retired Army pilot Gary Linfoot at our Friday Assembly! Gary Linfoot, a former U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer and former pilot with the "Night Stalkers," was paralyzed from the waist down when he crashed in an Iraqi desert. He is the first veteran to receive and use an exoskeleton device that straps onto his waist and legs. Our scholars listened as our guests shared their experiences, and they participated in the assembly by waving American flags to make our military heroes feel welcome!
