My comment was about the Beacon article, not the event itself. But I can also say this about the event:

A brief notice is posted on a calendar at https://holliman.warwickschools.org/. It states “All Holliman community members are welcome to attend”. No other persons are indicated. The notice doesn’t explain how or why the event was organized, or specifically why Holliman. A “see more details” link adds nothing. In spite of this notice, there is an appearance individual invitations were separately issued. If anyone really wants to honor veterans formally and officially, you should do it on that nationally designated day, called “Veterans Day”, not the middle of a busy school and work day, or, at least in a manner where it’s inclusive and open to everyone, rather than a by-invitation-only fashion. How many young children really want to attend a veterans ceremony ? Apparently none of them, according to the second paragraph. There is an appearance these school children were required or enticed to attend this event. There is an appearance the purpose of this event was to generate pandering press coverage. An elementary school provides an ideal controlled environment for such a scheme. It would be interesting to know exactly what Principal Coffey and the Holliman PTO were thinking when they (as reported) organized this event. Were they just thinking about all these insider-dignitaries they were going to invite ? I thought they had enough on their hands just managing the standard curriculum. As for the anonymous people who claim direct knowledge, please put it in a letter to the editor, rather than trolling valid concerns.
