Episcopal Celebrates Veterans Day
November 12th, 2020
There was a sea of red, white and blue for the Lower School Veterans Day parade. Students waved flags and cheered on Episcopal family members, friends and faculty who have served our country. The vehicles were decorated with banners, flags and signs to inspire the crowd. 2020 has been the year of parades, but this show of support and enthusiasm was particularly special. The parade concluded with Episcopal’s School Resource Officer and Air Force Veteran Corporal Kristopher Daniels making a pass through the circle with lights and sirens flaring.
Thank you to all of the veterans who attended the parade: Mike Ansell Tyler M. Bosworth, Army - National Guard Jay Caldwell, Army - National Guard Blaine Efferson, Army Jerry Georgopoulos, Army Rev.

A Prayer for Heroic Service
O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may not rest until all of the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
-From The Book of Common Prayer, p. 839
