Our Veterans, Their Stories - Chosen and Told by Vermillion High School Students

Description

America 250: Our Veterans,
Their Stories - Chosen and Told
by VHS Students
Each year, American History teacher Lenni Billberg
guides students through this impactful assignment,
encouraging them to select a veteran who holds personal
significance—whether a family member, family friend, or
community connection. Through interviews and research,
students uncover stories of service and sacrifice.
This year, students Sagan Marcus, Eleanor Meyer,
and Gavin Ma will present oral reports sharing the stories
of the veterans they chose to honor. Their work reflects
research and a meaningful personal connection to soldiers
whose stories shape our nation and our community.
These presentations offer more than a look at history—
they preserve it. By capturing and sharing these firsthand
accounts, VHS students help ensure that the experiences
of veterans are remembered and valued for generations to
come.
