(From the McDonald County R-1 School District)The students in McDonald County High School’s JROTC program played a major role in the ceremony honoring fallen soldier Chris Marion.
He’s the McDonald County graduate who died in battle in 2006 while serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq.
Marion was remembered with guest speakers, a 21-gun salute, a wreath-laying ceremony, and a dedication of a new sign marking the official naming of the U.S. Army PFC Christopher Lee Marion Highway.
The JROTC students helped with all aspects of the event including planning, setup, and tear down.
Applying lessons from the classroom to the ceremony grounds.
So proud of our students and what they’re doing to show respect and remembrance to a fallen hero.
