Vandalia Community Unit High School

Happy Veterans Day!

Today, Vandalia CUSD 203 proudly honors the brave men and women who have served our country. Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms inspire us all.

To our veterans, including those within our Vandal family and community, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for your service and for the example you set for future generations.

We encourage our students, staff, families, and community members to take a moment today to thank a veteran, listen to their story, and reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of their service. Together, we can ensure that their sacrifices are remembered and their legacy of service continues to inspire future generations.

❤️🤍 Vandal Pride. Honor. Respect. Gratitude.
