Patriotism in America boils down to people taking care of each other, according to Hank Thieman of Petersburg, a Boone County veteran and former county commissioner.
“Don’t forget what a privilege it is to be an American,” Thieman advised the audience attending the Veterans Day program last Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Boone Central High School Gym.
He urged students to support their leaders and teachers, and said people should support those in authority and the clergy.
“Be involved in local issues and vote,” he said. “We also need to put God back in our lives and in our schools.”
