Minot Consolidated School fourth-graders, from left, Damon Howze, Mason Dulworth and Miguel Cyr, help classmates lead the school and assembled veterans in the Pledge of Allegiance in the gym Wednesday afternoon. For the 11th consecutive year, veterans were invited to lunch and an uplifting program to honor their service. Howze’s and Dulworth’s mothers are veterans and Cyr’s father is one as well.
