Veterans Day will have a different feel this year for Becker Public Schools, as the district will be offering a video to celebrate the important day.
The celebration will have a couple of high school staff members playing key roles.
Craig Vogl, the high school band director, was instrumental in putting together the program this year. Vogl has been a member of the 34th ID “Red Bull” National Guard band for the past 23 years and was deployed to Iraq in 2009-2010.
This year’s speaker will be high school social studies teacher Luke Salzer, a Marine Corps Veteran. He spent five years in the Marines, stationed in both Japan and California. He worked as a flight mechanic and chief chief for C-130 airplanes. He ended his service as an E-4 Corporal.
The video will be available on the school website starting at 8 a.m. on November 11.
