Foothills Elementary School sponsored a Veteran's day event. Chaplain Rourk and the Colorado Royalty Association were invited to attend. Four systems were represented: Dream Girls, Galaxy, International and Teen World. It is always a wonderful time when we get together.
Each of the queens were introduced and allowed to speak briefly to the audience that included students, faculty and Veterans. I spoke about how proud I am to be part of a family of veterans dating back to the Revolution. My husband's family has fought for this country since its birth!
Emily and Elaine Kuzatomi sang the National Anthem. Beautiful!
Each veteran present introduced themselves with their name, branch of service, when and where they served. This included our own Chaplain Rourk.
We were lead outside for the raising of the American flag. Representing the International system were, myself, Ronni Bibb, Mrs. Colorado International 2010 and Emily Schlehuber, Miss Teen Colorado International 2009.
The Cub Scouts were the color guard for the event. Aren't they cute in their uniforms? These are future leaders of America. I am so proud to be a part of this organization!
After the flag raising ceremony, there was a reception in the cafeteria. The children asked for autographs. I signed paper plates and napkins.It was a fun time.
Before we left, the first grade class asked to have their picture taken with all the queens. This will be one of my most special and meaningful appearances as Mrs. Colorado International 2009!
