A special thank you to the Windham community and veterans who attended the Veterans Day ceremony on Friday, November 11. There were over 30 military men and women who attended the ceremony. The ceremony was led by former Boardman High School Principal, Mr. Lou Rucci. Rucci served in the US Marine Corps Reserve from 1970-1976. He was trained in Combat Engineer Unit and in a Headquarters Company. The guest speaker was James Guterba, a Canfield resident, and former administrator in the Boardman Local Schools. He served in the United States Marine Corp from 1962-1966.

He served in Vietnam as an M-60 machine gunner and squad leader. Guterba's speech focused on sacrifice, and the great sacrifices the military men and women have given for the people in the United States. The Windham Band and Choir, led by teacher Becky Kresen, graciously provided the music for the assembly. The choir sang the National Anthem, and the band played America the Beautiful, A Salute to the Armed Forces, and Stars and Strips Forever.
