Today was special for veterans who are *overnight guests at the Rescue Mission. A few days ago, a special invitation was posted on the message board. It invited veterans to come to a special chapel service at Mesilla Valley Christian School to honor them on Veteran's Day. The Veteran's who went expressed how it brought tears to their eyes. The children lined the hallways and saluted the men as they walked through the hall. "They wanted us to do it again," said one man. "It was like being in training," smiled another. During the program, one boy played Taps on the trumpet. Thank you to all the students and staff at Mesilla Valley Christian School. Your thoughtfulness and all you did to honor those who have served our country will not be quickly forgotten.
*An estimated one out of three guests who sleeps overnight at the Rescue Mission has served our country in the armed forces.
