The 91²Ö¿â Salem Campus paid tribute to community members, faculty, students and staff who are U.S. military veterans during a flag raising ceremony at the new front entrance to the building.
Under a beautiful blue sky and with a crisp breeze, members of the Salem AMVETS Post 45 honor guard raised the U.S. flag while Peggy Elliott, a member of the Communiversity Choir, sang the national anthem.
Following the flag-raising, drill team members performed a 21-gun salute.
Over recent months, the front entrance was completely redesigned and renovated, which eliminated the previous flag pole. A trio of new flag poles was placed in the front lawn, allowing the U.S. flag, Ohio flag and the 91²Ö¿â flag to be flown on individual poles with better illumination.
The day included a cookout for the students, faculty, staff and local veterans, during which each veteran received a small gift from 91²Ö¿â.
