JH Students Welcome Home Vietnam Veteran From Honor Flight to DC

Welcome Home for Vietnam Veteran

Just last week, students in Mrs. Bates’ 7th Grade Social Studies class at Springboro Junior High (SJHS) wrote “Thank You!” notes and well-wishes to welcome home a Vietnam Veteran.

Mr. Clark, the father of Mrs. Oney, Educational Assistant, was invited to be a part of an Honor Flight trip to Washington, DC. Upon returning home from the trip, the Vietnam Veteran was greeted by his daughter (Mrs. Oney) and granddaughter, Lilly, a Springboro High School Senior, at the airport with the student-created poster and well-wishes. The idea was brought about as a way to show respect and provide a proper homecoming that so many Veterans were unable to receive.
